Thai Buffalo Product Development: A Systematic Review for Sustainable Practices and Market Opportunities
Main Article Content
บทคัดย่อ
This study aimed to analyze the potential of Thai buffalo in the context of sustainable product development and market opportunities both domestically and internationally. A systematic literature review was employed to collect data on trends in the development of Thai buffalo products. The study covered keyword analysis, network linkage, and research trends between 2009 and 2025. A PRISMA systematic review was used to screen 24 research articles, demonstrating clear screening and analysis of articles from sources in the Scopus database during 2009-2025. The results revealed that Thai buffalo products, especially buffalo milk and buffalo meat, have high potential to meet the demands of consumers who value quality, safety, and sustainability, especially in markets that emphasize alternative protein sources and local products. This study also emphasized the importance of developing technologies and innovations to enhance the quality standards and increase the competitiveness of Thai buffalo products in the global market. The results of the network analysis of keywords such as “buffalo”, “milk”, and “meat” reflect the roles of buffalo products in animal health and food production. In addition, the study emphasized international cooperation, such as Thailand, India, and the United States, in developing innovations and exchanging relevant knowledge. The findings offer valuable insights for researchers, entrepreneurs, government agencies, and the private sector in formulating strategies to enhance the value of Thai buffalo products and support sustainable development. Furthermore, these insights can inform policy-making and guide the development of business plans at both national and international levels.
