Farmers demand price guarantees

Disgruntled rubber and oil palm farmers blocked a section of Asia Highway No 41 at Khuan Nong Hong in Nakhon Si Thammarat's Cha-uat district for a second day on Saturday, insisting the government meet their demands for price guarantees within 15 days.

Provincial governor Viroj Jiwarangsan led a team of senior officials to hold talks with protester leaders on Saturday.

The group wants prices of 120 baht per kilogramme for rubber sheets, 100 baht/kg for rubber latex and 4.50 baht/kg for oil palm.
