Abstract
This research aims to develop a policy framework for technology transfer from the government to farmers in Thailand by applying organizational factors, government agencies' policies, the technology transfer recipient, the technology transfer recipient and the process and technology used in the development of the policy framework. The crucial procedures include (1) developing government technology transfer policies, (2) putting those policies into practice, (3) overseeing and assessing those policies, and (4) assessing the effectiveness of those programs. The quality of the policy framework was evaluated using qualitative research techniques through focus group with two sets of ten experts and experts group participated in a quantitative research study using a policy framework questionnaire. The findings demonstrated that this policy framework is suitable and may be utilized to develop policy on technology transfer from the government to farmers with effectiveness and efficiency. The opinions on the factors influencing the success of the policy framework, the policy process procedures, and the overall policy framework were also at the highest levels (mean values were 4.74, 4.75 and 4.84 points, respectively).
