rooster59 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 New campaign encourages farmers to sell online Tanakorn Sangiam BANGKOK (NNT) - A new campaign by the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives has made it easier for farmers to sell their produce directly to customers online, with a logistic provider now offering discounted transport fees for a fast and safe delivery to customer’s hands. The Department of Agricultural Extension has signed an agreement with logistics provider Kerry Express Thailand, on the development of a logistical system for Thai farmers, as part of a campaign to promote faster, safe, and more efficient delivery of farm products directly from farmers to consumers. Under this agreement, Kerry Express will be offering a 10-30% fee discount on the delivery of farm products, and introduce specially designed packages to prevent damage to the produce. Farmers will have the option to request on-site pickup by the courier, and receive advice on how to properly pack their produce for delivery. This campaign is aimed at giving farmers a new, more convenient retail channel that can help them gain more income, while giving consumers more direct access to fresh produce brought straight from farms. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-03-14 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinneil Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Damned good idea, farmers normally get paid almost nothing for their produce, most money goes to the middle man, hopefully a lot of farmers will get involved as it will certainly increase their income. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
