The Cabinet on August 25 approved the Fruit Board’s proposal to provide Bt3.44 billion in aid to longan farmers this year, said Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives Chalermchai Sri-on.

The farmers will be paid Bt2,000 per rai per household for up to 25 rai.

Thailand produced 1 million tonnes of longan last year of which 583,000 tonnes were exported. The key export markets are China, Vietnam and Indonesia but demand has dropped during the Covid-19 pandemic.
