Yingluck buys rice from farmers in Ubon Ratchathani

Her aides said she planned to buy about two or three tonnes of rice directly from farmers in both milled and paddy rice.
For the paddy rice, she planned to have it milled for reselling in Bangkok.
Yingluck said she decided to visit Ubon Ratchathani because she felt sorry for farmers after the prices had fallen to the lowest level in a decade.
She chose to visit Ubon Ratchathani because it was one of the first provinces where rice harvests were done this year.
