Rice
Resident Smart Arse
With the collapse of the Rice Scheme and the subsequent abysmal failure to artificially raise the world rice price. There has been a collapse in the paddy price. Currently, the rice price is only between Bt4,000 and Bt6,000 per tonne, meaning farmers sold rice at a loss given the average production cost was between Bt7,000 and Bt7,700 per tonne. I wish I could get through to the family that laying fallow maybe a more profitable proposition and only grow for own consumption.
This will trickle through the whole community.
