[snoop1130]

 

The Ministry of Commerce will seek cabinet approval next week for a 1.4 billion budget, from the Central Fund, to implement projects within three months which will ease the rise in the cost of living, Commerce Minister Jurin Laksanawisit said today (Friday).

 

The projects would include a plan to increase the number of outlets selling pork at ฿150/kg to 667 across the country, a campaign to encourage people to consume alternative sources of protein, an increase in pig stocks and encouragement of small-scale pig farmers to switch to the good farming management standards to prevent diseases.

 

Jurin said that the Commerce Ministry has already banned the export of live pigs for three months, which will increase the number available for domestic consumption by about a million.

#Increase the number of outlets... I thought there was a shortage of pork?

#Encourage farmers to practice good practices and management standards.. yeah okay?
