webfact Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Thailand to become regional bio-industry hub BANGKOK, 24th October 2018 (NNT)-The Ministry of Industry is to go ahead with its plan to support bio-industry after Cabinet gave the nod to a draft law on sugar cane and sugar that allows sugar cane to be used for the production of other products. Industry Minister Uttama Savanayana said today that the government has a policy supporting the development of bio-industry as sugar cane, palm oil and cassava can be used for various commercial purposes. He added that farmers will also be able to earn extra income. Laws governing crops, other than sugar cane, are also expected to be amended in the future to allow them to be used in other industries. Regarding sugar cane, a systematic approach will be adopted to ensure the quality of sugarcane and its supply. A bio-technology support center will be set up in Chonburi province where a team of scientists will develop and improve bio-products for industrial operators. The Ministry of Industry is also determined to turn Thailand into a bio-hub by 2027. Once transformed, the Thai bio-industry will attract at least 190 billion baht's worth of investments and raise incomes for farmers by as much as 85,000 baht per person per year. -- nnt 2018-10-24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here I am again, posting yet another video clip of how the rest of the world is getting on with producing non-plastic bio-degradable bags made from cassava and similar materials.

Because the current law strictly governs the industry including dividing revenues between farmers and millers. The Thai economy is very highly regulated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what they're manufactured from, if they're plastic or some more natural ingredient? I've just had a look on the Makro website, but from what I can see they don't appear to have individual product details. I will go in and have a look. What's the 10 Baht price tag cover? Is it one strong bag or some small multi-pack, so I know what to look for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon2736434 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 All bags are biodegradable some just take longer than others. For 10 baht each I would like to know their composition. Nothing like paying for a pig in a poke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't look at the binbag department but they might be there as well in large quantities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retiredandhappyhere Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Strange, but my own calculations arrived at a figure of 191 billion worth of new investments, so once again they have got the figures wrong. Farmers can expect to gain enough to buy a few extra litres of fuel for their mini tractors doubling as family vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
