Tensions are rising as the government faces accusations of failing to support the agricultural sector. Specifically, a promised subsidy of 1,000 baht per rai for rice growers remains stalled, with the proposal yet to be formally presented to the cabinet for approval. Political figures, including members of the Pheu Thai party, have directed their frustration toward two deputy prime ministers regarding this inaction. Reports indicate that the Finance Ministry has expressed reservations about the efficacy of such direct support measures. As the aid package remains in limbo, concerns grow regarding the government's commitment to addressing the immediate financial challenges currently impacting Thai rice farmers across the country.
