Govt turns to bananas as rice plunges

According to Commerce Minister Pichai Naripthaphan on Thursday, the state will promote grain farmers to grow fruits to supplement their salary as grain prices continue to decline. &nbsp, &nbsp,

According to People’s Party ( PP ) MP Narongdech Ularnkul, Mr. Pichai responded to a question about the government’s plan to support rice prices in the market by pointing out that there is an oversupply. He claimed that as a result, the government is considering various important plants that farmers could grow and benefit from. &nbsp,

Bananas are one grain that was being considered, he said, noting that fruit trees are highly sought-after in international markets, including Japan, where fruit desire is thought to be as high as one million tonnes per month. &nbsp,

According to Mr. Pichai, Thailand currently produces about 8, 000 kilograms of fruits annually, of which about 2, 000 kilograms may be exported.

But, Mr. Narongdech reacted with skepticism when he requested that Mr. Pichai read the Agriculture and Cooperatives Ministry initially before urging grain producers to move to planting bananas.

He claimed that Mr. Pichai’s reply to his problem was insufficient and that he had doubts about the government’s commitment to assist farmers in resolving the issue.

He claimed that Pichai Chunhavajira, the prime minister’s nominee, has been appointed to lead the nation’s policy and management commission.

” Our Generation Y prime minister doesn’t care about landowners,” the question continues. he said.

Mr. Pichai claimed that the government is attempting to bring wheat stockpiles into focus through deals for wheat sale with various African and Chinese nations.

According to Mr. Pichai, the government will also try to talk with India and Vietnam about how to raise corn prices.

A plan to help wheat prices has also been drafted by Mr. Pichai, which would grant farmers an extra 1, 000 ringgit per tonne for off-season rice.

Next month, it will be presented to the government.

According to previous information from the Internal Trade Department, farmers may anticipate receiving about 9, 500 ringgit per tonne of corn given current market rates.
