Commerce Ministry initiates rice flea markets to help rice farmers

BANGKOK, 22 May 2014 (NNT) - The Ministry of Commerce has set plans to organize rice flea markets in the hope to help rice farmers during this period when government policy and assistance measures for them are absent.


Director-General of the Internal Trade Department Somchart Soithong said the flea markets would be held in 32 provinces from May – September this year. Rice mill entrepreneurs in the provinces would attend the markets to meet and trade rice with the farmers. The flea markets were part of the ministry’s mechanisms to make sure that rice prices in the country were in line with the market, the official said.

The average rice price at present is between 7,000 – 7,500 baht per ton.

The department has also instructed provincial internal trade offices to work with the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives in promoting the flea markets and giving the farmers advice on how to increase their rice production by decreasing the costs of production and improving the quality of rice.
