Thailand's Farmers Association opposes amendments to the Plant Variety Protection Act (1999), citing concerns over farmers' seed-saving rights and genetic sovereignty. The association demands clarity on how the law change will impact farmers' ability to retain and replant seeds, and is pushing for immediate government approval of a new relief package: 2,000 baht per rai (max 20 rai per farmer). Core issues include high production costs (6,000–6,500 baht/rai), delayed payouts on existing 1,000-baht-per-rai aid affecting 230,000 households, and inadequate state seed supply (farmers need ~1–1.2M tonnes annually). Long-term solution: stable paddy prices (8,000–8,500 baht/tonne) rather than aid dependency.
