Prayut vows to implement agricultural zoning

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said during his TV programme Friday night that his government will initiate the agricultural zoning and ensure that it will be done.

He said the zones should complement one another.
For example, rice can be grown in places where water is abundant.
“Places lacking water may be promoted as production sites for crops that need little water or organic fertilizer,” Prayut said.
“The zones can complement each other.  Places with little water can produce fertilizer for places that has ample water, while the latter can grow water-intensive crops.  Through community cooperatives, those in places lacking in water can earn income from fertilizer production instead of growing crops at a loss.”
