Thai farmers' association opposes amending the Plant Varieties Protection Act B.E. 2542, worried about seed-saving rights. It says average rice production costs are about 6,000-6,500 baht per rai, while the pending 1,000 baht/rai aid (about 230,000 households, 1,846 million baht) has been delayed about 4 months. A new 2,000 baht/rai proposal (max 20 rai) is awaiting the national rice policy committee (นบข.), with meetings repeatedly postponed. For SME owners serving rice-farming customers or suppliers, expect weaker farm purchasing power and possible seed-cost changes; no action is required yet.
