What to do when research indicate that Thai farmer need rice subsidy programme?


According to the Finance Ministry disclosed,rice pledging

 programme have recorded an accumulated loss of 682

billion baht over the past decade as of the cover period from 2004

to 2014 with 15 subsidy schemes. Of the total about 76 per cent

or 518 billion baht in loss were accumulated during Ms Yingluck

Shinawatra administration from 2011-2014.The loss inure from

corruption because there are loopholes in the process,causing

financial leaks and leading to problem with transparency.

 

With hugh amount of these corruptions, Mr.Yungluck indicted

for criminal malfeasance for holder of Political Position at

The Supreme Court’s Criminal Division which will be

announced on March 19 that the case will accept for trial

or not.

 

Despite a lot of loss and corruption there is a research

 indicated that rice subsidy must be continue either in the

 from of rice pledging programme or price guarantee

 programme after the new election.Because farmers are

 the major bastion in the election and they are still poor so

 the populist policies is predicted to be continue.

 

According to the research Thai farmer are caught in a trap of

populist policies although there is tardily delay in the process

of payment,they still satisfied with the subsidy programme.

If  we set the hypothesis that price receive from rice pledging

programme is equal to price guarantee programme .The result

 of the research are :

Within the group of farmer who have attended in rice pledging

programme :

33.52  per cent  of farmer choose rice pledging programme.

32.67 per cent choose price guarantee programme while.

23.30 per cent choose two of the subsidy programme.

For farmer from outside group of  rice pledging programme

 the result is :

35.42 per cent  choose price guarantee programme.

27.08 per cent choose rice pledging programme while

27.08 per cent declare that they do not have experience in

the subsidy programme.

 

Farmers choose rice pledging programme for three reasons:

1.Revenue from this programme is better than the price guarantee

programme.

2.Price receive from rice pledging programme is more certainty.

3.Their personal like.

Farmer choose price guarantee programme for three reasons :

1.They can receive faster revenue from this programme.

2.They believe this programme can make more revenue.

3.The process are not complicated.

 

From the research above it indicate that the benefit and price are

the reason that make farmers choose the subsidy programme.

If the subsidy programme can not be avoided we choose find
 
 which programme is the best for our country.

 

Rice pledging programme :

1.The principal is the same as loaning money which rice

is a good for pawn.

2.Farmer can have money to spend without being forced to

sell their rice at the cheap price in the beginning of the season.

3.This is a procedure to force temporary loss of rice supply from

the market which can support the price of rice away from lower

price.

In principal the price pawn should not too high  from the

market price.

Price guarantee programme for rice :

1.The government set standard price of rice guarantee.

2.If farmers sell their rice in the market which lower price

than price guarantee,they can receive the different price

from government.

 

In practice rice pledging programme cause hugh loss because

the price pawn is too high from the market price so government

must absorb a lot of loss and there are corruption from every
 
 process of this programme that make our country in crisis
 
 situation now.

Meanwhile with price guarantee programme for rice the
 
government can set the price that they will guarantee which
 
should not a wide-range from the market.

With this programme government can set the budget that they

shall guarantee by calculate from rice yield and price guarantee

so that they can limit the budget for this programme.
 
This programme does not have cost of warehouse,get around the
 
problem of rotten rice and middleman so that the procedure is
 
not complicated and can decrease the way to corruption.

So if we must use subsidy programme ,I think price guarantee

programme will be work more with less corruption and budget

deficit  and it will not make too much burden for government

and our country to carry on.
