CM4Me Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 This years harvest only produced a very small profit, after allowing for production costs. Yields are down, prices are down. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tywais Posted September 14, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2014 Not sure where you are but Chiang Mai seemed to have a bumper crop which knocked the market price down. Lot's of complaints here about the low price (sellers, not buyers) . We don't farm but we have a tree in our front yard and about 200kg came off it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapout Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 What kind of a price was quoted? Many farmers are selling to brokers( on the tree) who supply manpower for harvest, transport etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedBullHorn Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Usually it is contract purchase at 1'000 Baht per tree at one viewing... if agree... wholesaler bring his harvesting team in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBullHorn Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Grand MIL got 800 trees... after variable cost of 200'000 Baht, she is left with 600'000 of pocket money for a whole year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM4Me Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Some of the quoted returns for this year are rather hard to believe. For example around San Pa Tong (CNX)the average price received by farmers was 2013 2014 Grade AA 20.2B/kg 16.2B/kg Grade A 13.9B/kg 6.0B/kg Grade B 6.4B/kg 2.4B/kg Grade C 1.0B/kg 0.5B/kg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
