Thailand Plans to Sell Stockpiled Rice to Low

Income People
Jun 10, 2015
Thailand's National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO)

has decided to sell stockpiled rice at affordable prices to
low-income earners as part of efforts to clear the
deteriorating government rice stocks as soon as possible,
local sources quoted the NCPO spokesman.The NCPO
spokesman told local sources that the decision had been
taken at a joint meeting between the NCPO and the
Cabinet on June 9 and state agencies have been instructed to arrange for sale of low quality rice
at community cooperative shops and military camps accordingly.He noted that the program
would be discussed with the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperative as well as the Ministry of
Interior on June 12. He added that initially the Commerce Ministry would be instructed to select
quality grain from the government warehouses and the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperative
would take charge of processing and packaging the rice. The Ministry of Interior would be
responsible for selling the packaged rice.The NCPO decision follows the Commerce Ministry
decision on June 8 to sell stockpiled rice directly to consumers in small packs.The government
currently has 16-17 million tons of rice in stocks and is keen on selling about 10 million tons of
rice this year and about 7 million tons next year. It sold about 1.28 million tons of rice raising
15.85 billion baht (around $471 million) in two auctions this year.The Ministry is preparing to
