The Agriculture Minister will propose an 8,000-million-baht budget, drawn from the 200,000-million-baht government loan framework, to buy about 500 EV tractors or harvesters. If approved, farmers could use them free of charge, cutting harvesting fees that have risen from about 300 to nearly 500 baht per rai. This is only a proposal, not yet approved. Rice farmers and contractors in Kamphaeng Phet and nearby areas should watch for rollout details, and harvesting service operators may face pricing pressure if the scheme goes ahead.
