According to Mr Thosaporn, the first batch of the social and economic rehabilitation budget worth 80-100 billion baht is scheduled to be injected in July. The NESDC late last month screened the first round of 213 projects worth 101 billion baht. State agencies have submitted more than 46,000 proposals worth about 1.5 trillion baht to the NESDC. The aim is to implement more machinery on large farms to increase the value of production by about 11 billion baht a year. According to Mr Thosaporn, for the remaining 300 billion baht, the second batch worth around 100 billion is projected to go before the cabinet in August, and the rest worth 100 billion baht each in September and October.
