1. 390,218 Family of growers have registered
which covers planting area of 8.6 million rai (1
rai 6.25 ha) 2. Price of corn (11 October)
is 4.96 baht/kg. Production cost of corn are
5.4 baht/kg. and growers loss 0.47 baht/kg. or
470 baht/ton or 329 baht/rai. (1 us 30
baht)3. Value added (net loss) and debt of
growers are increasing.4. Corn stalk, Corn cob
and waste are burned which affect ecological
system and Global warming.

CASE STUDY AGRICULTURAL DEBT PROBLEM IN THAILAND.

• The Thai People in agricultural sectors of
  Thailand have been exposed to debt problems of
  over 2 trillion baht. In most cases unable to get
  out of debt, by relying on a purely agriculture
  income. As a result, most of them have had to
  sell their property to offset their debt
  problems. In turn, these people are without a
  home or property, consequently they start
  invading the forests or take on unskilled labor
  in industrial areas. In some cases, the debt is
  not dealt with and stays with them until their
  death, under the expectation that the funeral
  fund will cover the debt, which is paid to
  co-operative member once they have deceased.
  Lastly, there are attempts by farmers to persuade
  Government action to resolve agriculture debt and
  the problems that result.
