Abstract
⺠We quantify the external cost (EC) of pesticides in Thai agriculture using two methods. ⺠Using the Pesticide Environmental Accounting (PEA) tool, the average EC is USD 27 ha. ⺠Using an actual cost approach, the average EC is USD 19 ha. ⺠We discuss the pros and cons of using the PEA tool. ⺠We recommend combining a pesticide tax with supportive measures to change on-farm practices.
