The Master of Agribusiness Management (MMA) conducted an interesting field trip (Widyakarya) abroad, specifically in Thailand between February 26 and 28, 2024. MMA students had the opportunity to visit a number of prestigious corporate institutions, including Big Bee Garden, Yara International, and the Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC). However, this trip was not just limited to industrial visits. The students were also given the opportunity to interact directly with Thailand’s academic environment by visiting one of the country’s top universities, Kasetsart University. In this short period of time, students had an in-depth experience to understand the dynamics of agribusiness in Thailand and broaden their horizons internationally. read more
