Over Bt180m set aside for participation in Dutch horticultural expo

By The Nation

 

 

The Cabinet has agreed to earmark Bt187.64 million to fund Thailand’s participation in the Expo 2022 Floriade Almere in the Netherlands, deputy government spokesperson Ratchada Dhanadirek said on Monday.

 

This expo will give Thailand a chance to promote horticultural and agricultural products along with traditional Thai health goods as well as help build a global trade network, she said.

 

Thailand also plans to use the event to promote arts, culture and tourism as well as boost bilateral relations, she added.

 

The Agriculture and Cooperatives Ministry will soon start preparing for the event, which will run from April 14, 2022 to October 9, 2022.

Good to see the government has its fiscal priorities straight during this pandemic. Which government minister's wife ownes a nursery and landscaping business?

My home town in The Netherlands. I had a look at this project a little while ago to see the preparations. A few buildings already finished. An excellent connection with public transport. Airport Schiphol just 40 min by car (A4, A10, A1 and A6) and railway by NS ( The Dutch railway company). A great shopping centre and many excellent restaurants with international cuisine. And accommodations all over. Ask http://www.apartment-almere.com

The cynical me's first though was: For a country like Thailand with very few dairy farmers there seems to be a lot of cream in that budget for extras!  And why go, the Dutch are big trading partners with Thailand anyway.  Not much to be gained from this junket.
