webfact Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Govt uses production principles to stabilize rice prices BANGKOK (NNT) - The government is still using a market-oriented production principle policy to stabilize the price of rice according to the mechanism. Farmers are asked to accept the government’s guidelines intended to solve the problems. Lt Gen Werachon Sukondhapatipak, Deputy Government Spokesman, disclosed today that Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha takes heed of rice farmers who want the government to ensure that the price of rice is in accordance with the market mechanism and won’t cause a long-term problem leading to corruption. He has confirmed that what the farmers want is in line with the government’s policy, especially the comprehensive rice production and marketing plan, which is aimed at balancing the demand for rice and its supply, under the principles of market-oriented production, rice price stabilization and enhancement of rice production along with marketing efficiency that regulates the price of rice according to the market mechanism. The Prime Minister emphasized that throughout the year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives will pursue plans promoting rice selling and farming, reducing production costs and price risks, such as planting a variety of crops during the dry season, producing and distributing good seed, promoting the large-scale farming system and organic rice production, while comprehensively linking the organic rice market to the GAP rice market. As for the guidelines of the new government, the Prime Minister will take into account the sustainable benefit to the farmers. They won’t be trapped as in the past. The new government will still promote the principle of market-oriented production, and encourage everyone to build an income that can support themselves and their families continuously. He asked the farmers to believe in the new government’s efforts. -- © Copyright NNT 2019-07-15 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relax guys, there's a road map kind of thing going on.. One of the best examples of "government speak" I have seen for a long time. Forget about explaining it to Somchai, Is there anyone here who can explain what this article means... other than that they have no clue at all what they are doing?

Would these would be the junta and PM Prayut guidelines since there are are no guidelines set down by the newly elected government? The new government is still sitting and waiting while the country continues to dance to the tune of the junta. The junta has been there nearly 5 years and hasn't solved anything. Why would the stability of rice prices be any different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is this statement coming from the Deputy Government Spokesman and not from the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Somkid? Maybe the statement has a credibility issue and history of inadequacy (2014-2019) that Somkid would rather not repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOUTHERNSTAR Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Yes there are. The farmers get about B 1,50 per kg hom mali and the rice retail at B 30 plus per kg. The millers, wholesalers and retailers takes 10% of the risks but takes 90% of the profits. The farmers that have 90% of the risk takes 10% of the profit. The price of rice on the retail market,and still poor farmers that need assistance at every turn,something is wrong. regards worgeordieSent from my SM-A730F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
