Sansern also said the government had established the Cooperative Distribution Centre (CDC), which now has more than 100 branches across the country to help sell agricultural produce. He added that the CDC may also be expanded to meet demand from farmers wishing to supply their produce to the centres. Meanwhile, following the fall in the price of rice, help continues to pour in to help rice growers sell at a better price. However, Democrat Party politician Warong Dechgitvigrom expressed concern that the sales would affect the rice price. So when Yingluck sold the rice at Bt20 per kilo, the price of the grain would be only Bt8,403 per tonne, he said.
