Thailand's government promised farmers a huge increase in the price of rice when it came to power last August but it is failing on all fronts: export prices have not held up, the state faces huge losses and many farmers have not benefited.
This comes at a steep cost. The government set aside some 400 billion baht ($13 billion) for the intervention scheme, equivalent to the targeted budget deficit for fiscal 2011/2012.
