DIP increases rice buying price to 13,000 baht a ton for farmers in Kanchanaburi

BANGKOK, 28 November 2014 (NNT) – Rice farmers in Kanchanaburi are earning better income from their produce as a result of the Department of Internal Trade (DIT)’s policy on sustainable rice management program, in which farmers will be given 13,000 baht for a ton of fragrant rice with 15% humidity.


DIT Director-General Boonyarit Kalayanamit revealed that the province has already signed a memorandum of understanding to that effect with local rice mills and is piloting the project in Phanom Thuan District.

So far, 900 farmers have subscribed to the project. Part of the rice sold to the project will be packed under the brand "Kao Hom Kan” and sold at various DIT’s Farm Outlets including those in shopping malls, governmental buildings, markets, Blue Flag fairs as well as in Ranong Province before expanding to other provinces of Thailand.

According to the Director-General, the new price will increase income of the farmers in the province and encourage them to improve the rice quality. The project will be expanded to other provinces in order to lift the farmers' quality of life across the country.
