Nothing new here.  Supply and demand.  Those who can harvest early usually get a better price.  The crop peaks in mid-July and the prices decrease because of excess supply.  It's cyclical.  It happens every year.  As far as getting government subsidies, dream on.

farmers are getting hit hard here in rural Lamphun.   prices are lowest in years for mangos.....and lomyai

prices also down.   children off to the city,  labor hard to find...  not a great time for those who work the land.

good people,   tough life

"CRASH" seems to be the operative word lately when referring to the prices of just about every agricultural commodity; except durian. 

The usual Thai government advice for farmers would to go and plant durian while the prices are high and the Chinese have it in high demand.

The government is waiting for the PM to return to make such an announcement as he is the expert on agricultural matters.
