'Pitha' introduces 'Chonlathee Numnoo', the prospective candidate for president of Trat Provincial Administrative Organization of Kaoklai, along with visiting durian and mangosteen orchards and tasting GI durian on Koh Chang, indicating that Thai agriculture will have a future. You have to think strategically from upstream to downstream. Mr. Pitha Limjaroenrat Chairman of the Adviser to the Leader of the Progressive Party along with Sakdinai Numnoo, Trat District 1 MP, Wirot Lakkhana Adisorn, MP for the Progressive Party, and Benja Sangchan, MP for the Progressive Party, joined on stage to launch the event. Chonlathee Numnoo, potential candidate for president of Trat Provincial Administrative Organization, at Nong Bua Temple, Mueang District, Trat Province. Mr. Pitha said Trat is one of his favorite provinces. How many provinces will have weather conditions that are both rainy and sunny and are suitable areas for cultivation? There are matters of agriculture, fisheries, border trade, and Khao Pa Na Le, an area that is well prepared. Therefore, we must ask why the per capita income of Trat people over the past 10 years has not increased. If looking at budget allocation Even though agriculture is considered an important part of Trat Province. But the provincial budget in 2024, a total of 265 million baht, is only 0.52% of the agricultural budget. Therefore, the Provincial Administrative Organization's budget must be re-managed to achieve maximum benefit. This is the first duty that the Provincial Administrative Organization President must solve. You have to scratch the right place. Let there be investment for farmers. Mr. Pitha said that he came today to look for a victory for Director Tu-Cholthi Numnoo, former director of the Agricultural Research and Development Office, District 6, Chanthaburi Province, who has worked in agriculture for a long time. An important reason that people should choose the candidate for president of the Kao Klai Provincial Administrative Organization, Cholathee Numnoo, is because it will make the work seamless. which is not because of last name But because of work Amendments to various laws in the House of Representatives, local fisheries laws will be coordinated with MP Chonlatee, who has the ability and direct experience. Proven by working for many decades in the Ministry of Agriculture. Mr. Pitha said that local elections are not like national elections. Because there is no advance election or cross-district election. Therefore, he must ask for cooperation from natural canvassers in February next year. The Provincial Administrative Organization elections are as important as the elections for the MPs, fellow citizens who love democracy, love the future of Trat, love the progressive party. Please come out and exercise your right to vote for the Provincial Administrative Organization in a landslide. How did you join together to elect Sakdinai Numnoo to be Trat MP? Please choose Chonlathee like that. If you don't use your voice enough Bullets may win the trend If many come out to exercis e their right to vote, the Provincial Administrative Organization area will be the last piece of our jigsaw that can make Trat change. This was before joining the stage to launch the Trat Provincial Administrative Organization's candidate for president of the Progressive Party. Pitha traveled to visit and listen to the problems of durian and mangosteen farmers. who are experiencing the problem of falling agricultural product prices At present, the price of a whole mangosteen is only 2,500 baht, averaging 25 baht per kilogram. We also discussed with fellow farmers who grow mangosteen and durian, who reflected on the problem of the role of longgang and middlemen in setting prices. Climate change problems Mr. Pitha expressed his vision regarding the processing of agricultural products to add value. Mr. Pitha commented to reporters that Today he traveled to Trat Province. In addition to coming to introduce the candidates for Provincial Administrative Organization president, there are 2-3 other matters that are intended to directly study the problems of farmers, whether they are problems caused by drought. Affects the production and prices of agricultural products. Especially mangosteen, rambutan, and durian. He sees that even though Thailand has the potential to produce agricultural products, for example, Trat durian, GI (Geographical Indication) durian or the geographic indication of Koh Chang. But there is a matter of concern: the destination of the export. Mostly it is the Chinese market. And at the same time, it is a market with many competitors. Mr. Pitha further said that more than 90% of Thai durian is exported to China. While Taiwan is another popular market for durian consumption. But the market share is still low. Singapore is also a big market. But market share There is also Malaysia and Vietnam. Therefore, it must be accepted that Thailand has real potential. But competitors also have great potential. Therefore, if talking about problems, farmers must have a strategy. Make the product stand out along w ith examples of processing that adds value to durian, such as durian peels that can be made into paper Durian peels are fermented by microorganisms and made into cow food. Cosmetics in Europe use antioxidants from durian to add value. These are all ways of thinking from upstream to downstream. Thai farmers will have a future. Source: Thai News Agency
