CNH Industrial, Khon Kaen Higher College of Agricultural Technology, and Mitr Phol Group recently signed an agreement that aims to drive innovation and excellence in agricultural education across Thailand. The three parties committed to provide Thai vocational students with education, leveraging modern technology and private sector expertise.

Highlighting the significance of the tripartite agreement, Mark Brinn, Managing Director of CNH Industrial for Southeast Asia and Japan, said, “We’re honored to partner with Khon Kaen Higher College of Agricultural Technology and Mitr Phol Group. This initiative underpins our shared goals of promoting sustainable agriculture and empowering local communities.”

CNH Industrial has donated an Austoft4000 sugarcane harvester to Khon Kaen Higher College of Agricultural Technology for use in practical training. The company also committed to establishing a Case IH Training Centre at the school to strengthen hands-on training in modern farm machinery and technologies. The training facility will provide technical workshops on the key components of sugarcane harvesters and other agriculture technologies.
