A1Str8 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Wheat and barley? Tell yingluck to come home a little bit, this is going to be the next big scam. Before she was going for the rice. Now it's time to hit the wheat storages, grandma! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLS Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Is this article newsworthy? I think not really, judging by the little information given. The follow-up should be more interesting, when the paid price and the number of involved middlemen are disclosed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumbfounded Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Being an Aussie I tend to get the feeling that Thailand is buying the barley on behalf of China due to the trade ban China placed on this (and beef) and China doesn't want to lose face by buying it again directly from Aust. Won't surprise me either if I read in a few weeks that Thailand wants to import more Aussie Beef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
