On January 30, 2021, Jurin Laksanawisit, Leader of the Democratic Party Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce Visit the area to monitor the situation of cassava prices in Lan Mun, Udon Paibun Limited Company, Muang District, Nong Bua Province Lamphu.
Mr. Jurin met with farmers to inspect the cassava purchasing process and said that the Ministry of Commerce directed the Ministry of Commerce to monitor the cassava price situation in Udon Thani and Nong Bua Lumphu provinces. Here is a cassava factory that ships cassava out of the country to produce ethanol. Previously, an effort was made to collaborate with various tapioca associations in conjunction with the Department of Internal Commerce. The Department of Foreign Trade, Ministry of Commerce, to find a way to increase prices higher than those negotiated in the yard, to 2.00-2.10 baht per kilogram, held a joint discussion between the Ministry of Commerce and the Association of Agricultural Exporters to make a joint memorandum of understanding. Help each other to increase the price level This week, we will try to increase the purchase price of starch root by 25% to 2.40 baht, if possible, next week it will move to 2.45-2.50 baht, and the situation will improve.% According to the standard at around 2.40 baht per kilogram at the moment, in some places it is 2.45 baht, the measure is considered effective
“Then, I ordered the commerce of all the provinces that have cassava to monitor and strictly enforce the law.
1. Cassava is a controlled product, the purchase price must be clearly labeled. So that farmers are informed and must enforce all provinces of the country
2. At this time, the price of alcohol and ethanol in the Chinese market has risen, which has probably led to better prices for fresh tapioca from local farmers, in line with the price of alcohol in China. The problem is that some of the exporters cut the price themselves, making the price lower than it should be.
The company that exports ethanol must be a member of the Association of Exporters, if the income is to be sold under the price reduction, the association will have a measure of expulsion of the members so that the export is not a mutual agreement.
3. Import of cassava from neighboring countries He spoke at a cabinet meeting a few weeks ago. Please, the Prime Minister ordered the Customs Security Department and relevant parties to act strictly on the import. Do not allow stealth High price of cassava from farmers in Thailand
4. When many cassava roots are released, the Ministry of Commerce will delay the sale with a 3% interest bonus to save it with a 3% loan interest for farmers, cooperatives and factories.
The Ministry of Commerce will try to take good care of the farmers together with the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, but if the price is less than 2.50 baht per kilogram at 25% starch, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Agriculture you will still have a farmers’ income insurance policy at 2.50 baht per kilogram, with a difference in the money transfer Farmer MPs who automatically register to help make up the difference allow farmers to sell 25% of starchy cassava for an income of 2.50 baht according to the guaranteed income.
News reports from the Ministry of Commerce indicated that the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce urged the Department of Foreign Trade and the Department of Domestic Trade to closely monitor market-destroying behaviors. And enforce the law in the supervision of each agency immediately after finding an illegal act. And to reiterate that if the private sector mechanism is strong it will solve the problem of undercutting which is not good for all parties along the long term supply chain.
And if you see the import and export of cassava products that are not legal as required by law, such as high humidity and contaminants, you can notify the direct line 1385, Department of Foreign Trade. And whether or not cassava growers see justice from the cassava trade OR take advantage of the measurement, you can make a claim on the Department of Internal Commerce hotline 1569. Asking people to join in to make an eye for the Thai cassava industry to continue to grow steadily
To this day, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce together with the delegation Following the price situation to help farmers closely, were Mr. Chaiyos Jiramethakorn, Deputy Secretary General to the Prime Minister, Ms. Mallika Boonmeetakul Mahasuk, Mr. Kirati Rachano, the Director General of the Department of Foreign Trade, Mr. Wattanasak Sueaiam, Director General of the Department of Internal Trade and Mr. Karon Poonphiphat.
