Abstract
This article aims to examine highland agrarian transition in Chiang Mai province after tomato growing areas have been extended since the late 1970s. The researcher selected two highland villages, Ban Na Fon and Ban Mae Tom Bon, as study villages. The in-depth interviews with 20 villagers (village leaders and tomato growers) and the survey with 142 household samples (Ban Na Fon 81 households, Ban Mae Tom Bon 61 households) have been applied to understand the village history, tomato producing and trading. The result indicated that the expansion of tomato cultivating areas in the study areas have caused the changes of production structure and labor management. Upland and irrigated rice growing were extremely degraded. Rich farmers and land lords have preferred to employ labors for irrigated rice growing, meanwhile they have grown tomato in highland around villages.
