The Agriculture Ministry is surveying flood-affected farmland, mainly rice paddies in the lower Chao Phraya basin. Many fields are already 60-80% harvested, and about 15% of the lower Chao Phraya plots are still unharvested. Officials urge farmers to harvest early before water is diverted into the flood plains. Low-lying orchards should reinforce bunds and watch flood alerts. No compensation amount is set yet; aid depends on verified damage, so farmers and suppliers linked to affected rice or orchard land should keep harvest and loss records and register with local agriculture offices.
