Unemployed Thai succeeds in breeding rats for consumption

Dear Hugo,
I know the problems and it is different for every farmer. But let me put it another way…
It would not do any harm to have supply and demand matched on a more equal basis, as an auction or cooperative, for example, works. The organization goes to the farmer as a representative of the affiliated farmers and is therefore much better able to assess what the needs of buyers are and, where necessary, to steer in terms of supply.
CP is the biggest disruptor in the Thai food chain and hence the niches that have an opportunity.

Organic may be one of them, but to be honest I think it's mafia practices imposed by the big supermarkets in collaboration with their chemical friends and I'm glad there is a trend from the US not to follow that.

If a farmer does not have to spray, that saves money, but then there are the larger powers that determine that fruit and vegetables must meet beauty requirements… whispered by the seed and pesticide mafia. A few expensive agencies will then determine whether you qualify (read , can you afford the costs) to grow organically and if so, you can use a label that allows the consumer to pay the main price for maintaining this nonsense. And to maintain this, certain pesticides may be used…..
As a government, ensure that the real poison is not allowed to be produced (EU makes serious mistakes here, Bayer, Germany, trade interests) and check for residues before it is exported and actually punish. And the consumer should learn not only to look at beauty. The eye wants something, but when it's used you don't look at it anymore.
