问题详情:
Rice farmers in Thailand are facing a large drop in income because of the drop in the price of rice throughout Asia. At the same time, costs to grow the crop(庄稼)are increasing. Farmers are not sure who to ask for help. Many of them are having a difficult time this year. Some of them may not even make enough money to pay their costs to grow the crop.
Lung Chai is a rice farmer in Chiang Mai. He says the situation has affected all farmers. He says he is losing money, but does not know who to talk to about it. “No one would hear our voice.” He says.
Thailand faces strong competition for rice exports(出口)from India and Vietnam. This is partly because of lower pay in neighboring countries and large expected harvests this year.
A recent study paid for by the Bank of Thailand said Thai farmers should be trained to portend market changes, so they would know what to do next. Singhachi Boonyayotin is a senior director of the Bank of Thailand. He said Thailand should produce other products besides white rice to compete with Vietnam and Cambodia.
Wachirajak Nin-khuntod wanted to help his father who is a rice farmer. He began selling crops on the Internet as a way to increase income. He said, “My parents didn’t believe that I would be able to sell rice on social media, as most farmers believe we can sell rice to middlemen or rice factories only.” Now, he says, his parents know that they can sell their own rice without a middleman.
Perhaps other farmers in Thailand can also do that. It might be a good way to help them out.
