The Business Development Department has joined forces with the Thai Wholesale and Retail Association to help sell rice directly for farmers through both online and offline channels.
Bangjongjitt Angsusingh, director-general of the department, said it had opened ThaiCommerceStore.com for farmers to promote rice sales. It is available both to farmers who have their own websites and those who use only social media such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to link to the Web.
She said the project should increase distribution channels for farmers. Forty farmers have already been supported through this website.
