contents Working and employment conditions in the agriculture sector in Thailand: a survey of migrants working on Thai sugarcane, rubber, oil palm and maize farms Sudarat Musikawong Nara Khamkhom Reena Tadee Leonard Buckles Suwichai Khachasin Anna Engblom Given the decent work deficits facing workers in the agricultural sector globally, this report aims to shed light on the specific situation of migrant workers in the agricultural sector in Thailand. The analysis in this report is based on a survey of 528 migrant agricultural workers in four prominent export crops – maize, oil palm, rubber and sugarcane – as well as in-depth interviews with local officials, NGOs, employers and migrant workers. It closes significant knowledge gaps on employment practices, including the recruitment and hiring process, and on the working conditions of migrant workers in the Thai agricultural sector, including wages and working hours, occupational safety and health conditions, housing, and access to social protection and other important support services. By determining the current situation of migrant workers employed in Thailand’s agricultural sector, the report identifies key gaps in policies and practices that need to be addressed, and provides a comprehensive set of recommendations.
