Oil palm growers across Thailand plan to submit simultaneous petitions to authorities in each province, seeking government help to boost the prices of raw oil palm seed, which have fallen to an average of 4 baht/kg.

 

The growers are complaining that, while the prices of raw palm seed continue to plummet, from a peak of 12 baht/kg to 4 baht/kg at present, the price of chemical fertiliser continues to rise, from an average of 600 baht/bag to between 1,500-1,800 baht/bag today, and it is still increasing.

 

For the growers to make a living, they claim that the minimum price of raw oil palm seeds should be 6 baht/kg.

Better to replant the  stove jungle they cut down to grow this stuff.  It's been really bad for wildlife. 

Bad for humans too.  It is the worst oil you can cook in.  Contains a fatty acid that increases LDL and hence cholesterol levels.
