BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's cabinet on Monday approved 22 billion baht ($660 million) of income support measures for farmers, government officials said on Monday.

 

The government will pay farmers the difference in case crop prices are lower than the reference prices, they said.

How much of it will go to Isaan farmers before the next election 

Most  farmers by me  have given up ad many fields are  now  abandonded,  but this  has been going on for  about 6-7  years  now, slowly  less and less  fileds are tended.

I just wonder how many generals suddenly have farms?

Rice was down to Bt5 a kilo. Grow at a loss at this price. In places where you can grow 2 crops a year people are growing one.
