Rubber growers to march on Bangkok

Rubber growers in the southern province of Songkhla were set to travel to the capital on Tuesday morning to join forces with rubber growers nationwide who are calling on the government to help shore up rubber prices to Bt120 per kilogram.

 

Growers gathered in Songkhla before leaving for the premier’s residence in Bangkok with latexladen pickup trucks as part of their caravan. They plan to pour the latex in front of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra’s home if the problem of the falling rubber price is not addressed.
