Govt unveils assistance for farmers

Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak has instructed the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives to extend assistance to farmers in two phases - short and mid-and-long term.

The shortterm phase will involve measures designed to prepare farmers for the upcoming drought season in an expected two to three months. 
Somkid advised the ministry to work with the Ministry of Interior and use the 882 agricultural learning centres nationwide to advise farmers on how they can boost their income.
