webfact Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Commerce to control Chinese fruit wholesaling business By Thai PBS The Ministry of Commerce is now in talks with the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives to control the Chinese fruit wholesaling businesses after receiving complaints from longan farmers that they were cheated by the Chinese traders. About 200 longan farmers from Pong Nam Ron and Soi Dao districts gathered at the office of a Chinese fruit trader during the past weekend to demand the company to pay money owing to them. According to the longan farmers in Chanthaburi, the Chinese wholesaling firm failed to pay more than 400 million baht to them after they have supplied longan to the firm for exports.

Bluespunk Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) "The firm claimed that they have financial problem, therefore, so they could not pay back the farmers at the moment." Now that sounds familiar... Edited November 22, 2017 by Bluespunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluespunk Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 "One measure is to have warehouse in the province to buy fruits from local fruit farmers in order to prevent cheating and ensure fair treatment for fruit growers." That as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinsdale Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 A good part of the reason durian prices have gone up so much is these Chinese f..ker..s buy whole crops even before they're ripe and when it's ready off it goes to China. They're doing this everywhere. Going into shopping centres, buying something (in bulk) off the shelves and sending it back to China for their families to sell. Nothing left for the locals.
