Abstract
The purpose of this research was to synthesize the research projects of fruit trees in Thailand. Research Methodology consisted of data collection from the National Research System Database (NRMS), 2,660 projects during the year 2008-2019, and the analytical techniques: situation analysis and the research to impact pathway. The results indicated that most fruit trees research projects invested in pineapples, mangoes, durian, coconut, and longan, respectively, in the area of the product development and processing, plant breeding, etc. Most research outputs generated new knowledge, and technology, focusing on production efficiency for farmers. Finally, suggestions for future research should emphasized on such as the physiology of fruit trees, automatic water and pest management, and research and development of robotics using in orchard. This research assessment is a new finding and be the first research study in Thailand which produced a crucial practical contribution to research organization, i.e. TRSI in planning policies to genuinely drive technology to farmers in Thailand.
