Cabinet approved an extra 1,544.98 million baht to pay 233,729 more rice-farming households for the 2025/26 crop year (68/69), at 1,000 baht per rai, capped at 10 rai or 10,000 baht per household. BAAC pays directly into farmers' accounts. The programme deadline moves from 30 Sep 2026 to 31 Dec 2026. For SMEs in rice-dependent provinces, this means extra cash flowing to farm households and local spending, and for ones who are farmers themselves, check whether your household is on the list.
