MPs to diffuse farmers' agony
Play
Government MPs have been assigned to diffuse negative sentiments among farmers, following the National Rice Policy Committee's decision to revise down the rice-pledging price from Bt15,000 to Bt12,000 per tonne.
Pheu Thai spokesman Prompong Nopparit said Friday that the MPs would explain to farmers in their constituencies on the necessary revision. They would also gather farmers' proposals on how the government can help. The proposals would be presented to the government next week, he said.
