Though I have no idea where the link between the Junta and this OP is. Good luck to the RoEt farmers. Organic rice was always a good option to get a competitive edge. May they do well and prosper without the need for government support. Edited May 27, 2014 by djjamie 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post edwinchester Posted May 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2014 One of wifeys friends grows several rai of organic jasmine every year. It is a small operation but her crop is sold out to the locals immediately it is cropped. The reason they buy is because she doesn't charge an exhorbitant price and because they are aware of all the chemicals that are used in mainstream production. There is obviously quite a large market for organic rice and I wish the locals success. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bangmod Posted May 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2014 I guess, all foreign governments who were putting bad messages about the ongoing coup, have to be sure that what they announce in the media is correct. Not all tourist are staying away, and visa versa with investors. The coup was necessary and as you have read this story, there are investors who rather do business with a Thai military government, as they are likely not to corrupt the trade, but rather work in favor of the people, who should and I bet would benefit from this deal. I say Cheers Gen. Prayuth for bringing peace, love, understanding, and foremost justice and good for the people who have suffered long enough from the Shinawatra Dynasty 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubl Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Interesting news for various reasons - organic <anything> is of interest in markets like the EC. That means quality instead of quantity - 500 tonnes is not much, but it's a cautious start. Unknown how much this Network produces. - pity no price details provided - without having more info I can only say that I hope this is an example of people helping themselves in a cooperative form. Self-entitlement, self-reliance. Bravo! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So credit for its success might at least in part go to the former government. Thaifex was set up and opened by a man name of Korn Chatikavanij who is an investment banker. He studied economics at Oxford Unversity, and had the top marks in his exams ever recorded at that University. He was also Finance minister under Abhisits Democrat government. So a former government might just take some credit for its success. Thank you for noting that. Mr P,ricker.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wealth Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 good to hear that some countries pay attention to quality and make it their priority. What about other food products? This needs to be checked too, especially dried and dehydraded stuff. Europe is sensitive and avoids anything Monsanto's (and it's covert operators) bringing up. Russia even criminalizes GMO as terrorist act and genozide (the legislative's preparing the law for this now) GMO sells very good in China though.

natway09 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Not sure how the sale of 500t of jasmine rice news came so bitter & twisted of a political nature almost immediatly on this forum. Well done rice growers, give them good quality & they will be back for 1,000t next year. And do the deal direct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
