Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha is currently non-committal about the banning or restriction of paraquat, glyphosate and chlorpyrifos, saying that the matter should be resolved in accordance with formal procedures.

 

The issue has divided people into two camps, civic and consumer groups who support completely banning the three hazardous farm chemicals and farmers who support restricting their use, as earlier proposed by the National Hazardous Substances Committee.

 

There have been reports of a showdown at the Ministry of Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives on Wednesday when a group of oil palm farmers showed up to voice their objection to a complete ban, while the opposing group, Biothai, also showed up to demand a complete ban.

Nice bit of fence sitting. Until it comes time to jump to the most rewarding side.

Get another committee going PM. There are already three entirely different committees looking into this matter. One more wouldn't matter.

That's Thai democracy and parliament work: PM decides what is best for Him,  ups no for the people of the country who elected him to keep on going with the military dominated fouls.!

If they are to continue the use of these substances, train those who use them.
