Government finalising cash handouts to farmers
Government plans cash handouts to farmers’ families of between Bt15,000 and Bt30,000 a month per family. The figure is yet to be finalised by ministers and the cost is estimated at Bt130 billion to Bt400 billion.
The Finance Ministry will propose to the Cabinet to support farmers affected by the Covid-19 outbreak, Lavaron Sangsnit, director-general of the Fiscal Policy Office, said.
