Published 2026-11-03

On 2 November 2569 (2026), Ms. Supajee Suthumpun, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce, visited Udon Thani Province together with Mr. Poonpong Naiyanapakorn, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, to monitor and upgrade the “Khao Pra-nee” project, which provides comprehensive care for rice production.

The “Khao Pra-nee” project covers every step, from the selection of rice varieties to the sale of rice in the market. The government aims to ensure that farmers produce quality rice that can be sold at appropriate prices. Care at each stage will help the rice produced better meet market demand.

During this visit, the Ministry of Commerce emphasized supporting the tools and equipment that farmers need for production. In addition, farmers are being linked with markets in advance, so they know beforehand who they will sell their rice to and at what price. This will help reduce the risk of price fluctuations.

The main goal of this project is to increase the incomes of Thai farmers, especially those in the Isan region, which is an important rice-growing area of the country. Those interested can continuously follow the project's progress through the relevant agencies.
