PM: Govt To Continue To Push For Agricultural Zoning

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.
