Many people will ask questions.

We grow rice for export until we become the country that exports the most rice in the world...but why are the farmers still poor?

Although the Rice Department was established to take care of

in terms of increasing production efficiency, reducing costs, increasing productivity, enhancing quality

for the people to have knowledge and understanding

Including the transfer of appropriate rice production technology.

But the price of rice often fluctuates.

At the same time, rice production does not meet the needs of foreign trading partners.

Not including countless minor problems

On the occasion of being the chairman

"Campaign for technology transfer to reduce rice production costs into practice" in Nakhon Pathom and Suphan Buri, Mr. Chalermchai Sri-on, Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives

Tell me about the new era of Thai rice…in the future, farmers must use standardized rice seeds.

because at present there is still insufficient quantity to meet the demand

because right now it's not just the Rice Seed Center of the Rice Department

responsible for producing rice seeds only

But the Rice Department still supports community rice centers as another important channel and close to farmers.

to fill the supply of good quality rice seeds that are still lacking

directly to farmers

Another thing missing is

development of rice varieties

The Rice Department must develop quality rice varieties.

and apply technological innovation research

for the farmers to have a better living

have more strength

However, the heart of the operation requires cooperation from all sectors.

The community rice center will act as a mentor.

The government has a duty to support various factors.

to increase productivity

create added value

At the same time, farmers have to group together into large plots.

to create bargaining power for farmers

based on the market-led policy of production

in order to be able to plan production control

and to the point of setting the price yourself

because farmers produce according to consumer needs

More importantly, we need to pay attention to the production that must be environmentally friendly.

Then farmers will reduce costs.

increase efficiency

Raising productivity standards

While mentors like the government can help set the market ahead of time.

along with pushing for high-value agricultural processing

use modern marketing

Strengthening small-scale farmers

You can say it...but it's practical.

How much can the minister actually create government agencies?
