The project is expected to require a budget of Bt100 million. About 5,000 tons of white rice will be sold in 2-kg packages to low-income earners through cooperatives across the country.
To ensure the target demographic has access to affordable rice, the Interior will undertake a survey of low-income earners countrywide and forward the data to governors who will oversee distribution. The target number of customers is estimated at 200,000.
