The mobile Cabinet meeting in Udon Thani approved draft Royal Decrees designating land readjustment survey areas in two provinces, Kalasin and Phetchaburi, covering over 8,500 rai to support irrigation system development and improve agricultural efficiency.
On 3 November 2026, Lieutenant Colonel Phatdarasmi Thongsaluaykorn, Deputy Spokesperson for the Office of the Prime Minister, revealed that the Cabinet’s official offsite meeting (mobile Cabinet) in Udon Thani resolved to approve in principle two draft Royal Decrees on land readjustment survey areas as proposed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives. These are: 1. A draft Royal Decree defining the land readjustment survey area in Kamalasai, Lakh Muang, Chao Tha, and Dong Ling subdistricts, Kamalasai district, Kalasin province, covering approximately 4,030 rai; and 2. A draft Royal Decree defining the land readjustment survey area in Nong Kapu and Huai Khong subdistricts, Ban Lat district, Phetchaburi province, covering approximately 4,512 rai. The total area of both sites is about 8,542 rai.
The designation of these land readjustment survey areas is conducted under the Agricultural Land Readjustment Act of 2015 to identify areas where surveys and preparations for land readjustment projects can be carried out. Officials will collaborate with authorized agencies to inspect the areas and consider utilizing state public land within the survey boundaries for land readjustment purposes in accordance with the law.
The Deputy Government Spokesperson further explained that agricultural land readjustment aims to develop areas suitable for cultivation, improve irrigation, drainage canals, and access routes at the plot level, enabling farmers to access water and manage their land more conveniently. It also promotes integrated farming, enhances production and marketing efficiency, reduces costs and occupational risks, and supports farmers in forming groups to jointly manage water and agricultural areas, thereby increasing income and strengthening the agricultural sector in the long term.
As the next step, the Cabinet approved the draft Royal Decrees in principle and instructed that they be submitted to the Office of the Council of State for review before proceeding with the subsequent legal steps.
