Random price inspection conducted in Yannawa market, Bangkok

BANGKOK, 14 June 2015, (NNT) - The Ministry of Commerce yesterday conducted a random inspection of goods prices in the capital’s Yannawa market and found prices of pork and some vegetables have slightly increased.

The inspection was led by the ministry’s Inspector-General Kulanee Issadisai, who told the media most of the commodity prices remain the same except for the aforementioned items. Pork prices in particular have increased by 5-10 baht from the previous month, selling at 140 - 150 baht per kg, as drought has slowed down the overall swine growth.

Whole chicken price remains the same at 65 - 70 baht per chicken.

The market is now starting to see supply of eggs exceeding the demand. To address the issue, the National Chicken and Chicken Product Development Board (Egg Board) is currently deploying a scheme encouraging egg farmers to relieve old hens of their duty by giving 40 baht of compensation for every hen relieved.

Meanwhile, vegetable prices increased due to the diminished produce caused by drought. Price of lime however has dipped down significantly, selling at 2 baht apiece from the previous 5-10 baht apiece.

The Inspector-General believes that prices of vegetables, fruits and other perishable items would return to normal once the rainy season arrives.

What do the cocks have to say about this fowl fiasco?

OK, I'm intrigued. How do you relieve an old chicken? Give it a pension? Or will that curious expression about "choking the chicken" be employed? whistling.gif

I can firmly believe that the level of investigation given to inflation relates to sending the office Somchai to Yannawa market with a shopping list once a month. Hence the "no inflation in Thailand" reports.

Presumably once the "relieved hens" start spending their 40 Baht it will also revitalize the market in chicken feed. Win Win all round wouldn't you say

Why should the govt pay companies like CP to retire hens?

Earlier:

"She [Permanent Secretary for Commerce Chutima Bunyapraphasara] attributed the slight increase in prices of some fresh vegetables to the ongoing drought problem in many areas, adding that the ministry will help local farmers adapt themselves to face the current drought." 2015-03-18

Looks like the government has figured out that the drought affects food prices. The agricultural expertise of the Prayut regime is just amazing. And so is its generosity:

"scheme encouraging egg farmers to relieve old hens of their duty by giving 40 baht of compensation for every hen relieved."

It's hard to dislike a government that embraces populist policies even though its leader last year wanted populist policies banned by a constitution. Prayut is learning the politics of ENTICEMENTS.
