BANGKOK : - The Government is moving forward
with its promotion of an agricultural zoning scheme and a project to
educate agricultural operators to farm plants suitable for the regional
climate.
The comment was made by Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha during his weekly TV address program yesterday.
He said all the related agencies must put their energy into the scheme.
Gen. Prayut explained that, if the area has enough water for rice or
other water-demanding economically important plants, then, by all means,
farmers should grow these plants. But in an area with limited water
resources, farmers should opt for plants with a lesser demand for water
or produce organic fertilizer instead.
Prime Minister Gen. Prayut said officials would educate farmers about
determining which crops make the most profit, in the Government’s bid
to minimize losses. He has assigned the Ministry of Agriculture and
Cooperatives and the Ministry of Interior to help in bringing the plans
to life.
