snoop1130 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 BANGKOK (NNT) - The government is proceeding with plans to make Thailand a regional manufacturing center for hemp products over the next five years, with the goal of generating at least 25 billion baht in revenue. According to Industry Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit, the value of hemp cultivated and harvested in Thailand is projected to grow by at least 20,000 baht per rai, creating more jobs throughout the industry supply chain. Suriya added that the move is in line with the industry’s expansion, fueled by the relaxation of legal restrictions on commercial hemp in the United States, Canada, Australia, the European Union, China, Japan and South Korea. According to the industry minister, the global hemp industry was worth 142 billion baht in 2020, representing a 22.4% increase over the previous year. The value is expected to reach 558 billion baht per year by 2027. Thongchai Chawalitpichet of the Office of Industrial Economics (OIE) meanwhile said the ministry has also tasked his agency with developing an operational plan to support the promotion of hemp as the nation’s newest cash crop. He also said at least four major measures have since been established and are expected to be implemented upon approval by all parties involved. -- © Copyright NNT 2022-07-08 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Laughing Gravy Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) The reason for the obsession with hubs is that Thailand lacks creativity, planning, ingenuity and critical thinking. They are pretty good at copying another idea but fail to grasp the micro and macro economics related to the business. Basically they have the delusional idea thinking that 'they can do that , so can we'. Hence the constant need to call for a hub. It is a shame really, as Thailand has great potential with its abundance of resources, great weather and strategic location in the world. But with this mindset and also one where the elite see the 'minions' to be treated as dirt and dispensable, I doubt anything will ever change.

I think you are giving far too much credit for even copying ideas. That suggests some type of execution of someone else's ideas. It's more just child like fantasy rhetoric. Give em something sweet and they'll eat it. My company tried to do business here at one stage and apart from the games and shenanigans, as my boss stated....they promise you the world and give you an atlas. And always expect credit and props for something before it has been done. Buy now pay later 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
