International Market The Suggested Process There can be no success without a planned process. Initially, the developmental operation should start with a simple experimentation either by the researcher or an assistant. With the initial experimentation in place and growing, a demonstration prop or site is ready for target population’s experience. Once this is starting, a community support program or training can be initiated and the local government may be able to take a part or even the ownership of the program. After the program is stable enough, through trials and many tries, it can be integrated in the local or regional educational practices while political engagement may be initiated, especially if there is a promising product to be considered. The local situation should have been somewhat changed and the developmental program should receive some attention from the central government or organization to help get the programout to the target audience andmarkets.This finally canmove from the Sufficiency Economy to the Economies of Scale, yet a Sustainable Economy, whether a small or large one. The sample engagement can be listed as below. 1. Simple Experiment 2. Demonstration 3. Community Support, Education, Training and Outreach 4. Marketing Assistance or Cooperation 5. Local and Central Governmental Sanction 6. Raise as Political Issue 7. Raise as Educational Issue 8. International Advancement Conclusion The Asian Beekeeping through the lens of the Sufficiency Economy Principles can be a reasonable match. Beekeeping is not complicated and Sufficiency Economy is something very attainable. Both the ideology and the practice are very practicable. Asian beekeeping can help not only lifting up the economy but also the agro industry directly and indirectly. Besides, bees can be a big help with the natural pollination of various species of plants. A successful small-scale developmental project should assist the people to improve their livelihood economically and socially, which in turn will benefit the society and the nation as a whole.
