Recently, Papa, chairman of the Thai Farmers' Committee, revealed that the impact of the Conflict between Russia and Ukraine has continued to expand, resulting in food shortages in many countries, soaring energy prices and other issues, and have issued relevant export bans. Russia and Ukraine are the world's major exporters of food and products, the Conflict between Russia and Ukraine has caused food shortages and rising prices, and Thailand is a food and agricultural producer with a large agricultural population base, and the impact on Thailand should not be underestimated.
Papa said rising prices for food products and energy would create inflation. In this case, Thai food prices will also rise, including starchy plants such as rice, corn and cassava, as well as sugarcane and sucrose. Therefore, the food crisis at this stage is also a good opportunity, and if the Government is properly managed, it can create export opportunities and reduce the impact of the crisis, thereby generating income.
Finally, Papa proposed to the relevant authorities that some attention be paid to the matter and that consultations be held to enhance bargaining power. In the future, the market will belong to the exporters, which is also a good opportunity for the value of Thai agricultural products to increase and farmers to increase their incomes.
