The Commerce Ministry has been directed to rev up its efforts
to control consumer product and food prices, tackle low
farm prices, stimulate exports and promote community
enterprises.
Authorities should inspect more frequently the market prices
of essential products and food in partnership with the private
sector to prevent profiteering by traders and vendors, Deputy
Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak said. The government's
new economic chief also urged authorities to enforce the law
more strictly.
Mr Somkid held a meeting Wednesday with the ministry's
senior officials and representatives of the private sector to
outline his economic and trade policies. He said central
markets should be set up in communities in all regions
to channel essential product distribution to consumers.
He also asked the Commerce Ministry to work
more closely
with private organisations to tackle farm product prices,
particularly for rice, rubber and oil palm. To drive exports,
the ministry
should set up an energetic team to work closely
with the private sector, Foreign Ministry and Tourism and
Sports Ministry to
beef up shipments to target countries
such as Myanmar, Pakistan, Russia, China
and and Japan.
"From now on, the Commerce Ministry will not be the only
one promoting exports," he said. Private firms from all sectors
also being
urged to report their problems and obstacles
directly to the prime minister in
a move to speed up
tackling them. Mr Somkid also pledged to promote trade in
services such as tourism, hospitals, films and entertainment,
restaurants and
e-commerce.
"The Commerce Ministry should also be more instrumental
in business
development, particularly for community enterprises
and the One Tambon One
Product scheme as well as new
entrepreneur development," he said.
Newly
appointed Commerce Minister Apiradi Tantraporn
said her ministry would try its
best to produce substantial
results within three months as directed by Mr
Somkid.
Isara Vongkusolkit, chairman of the Thai Chamber of Commerce,
hailed
the new stimulus package worth 136 billion baht,
particularly its contributions
to Village Funds, as it would
boost the production capacity of communities.
Businesses have pledged to cooperate with the government
sector to upgrade
community products.
Business,Business News,Bangkok Post,3 September 2015.
This is good news for all Thai people because cost of
living rising too high compare to the wage rate increase.
The 136 billion baht contributions to Village Funds will
help stimulate economic ,the point that important is to
least the corruption and provide the fund for the
benefit
of the community.
The promotion of the One Tambon One Product scheme
to be competitive and the new activities of the Commerce
Ministry to be more instrumental in business development
is the hope for SME and new entrepreneur.
The problem and obstacle investigate is also the hope
for
helping Thai economic to growth more also.
