Private entrepreneurs Both the upstream, midstream, and downstream segments gave an overall opinion that setting the middle price for the purchase-sell of raw materials. There must be a good standard to be shared in the country. Because Thailand has a high agricultural capacity. should primarily look at the context in Thailand because if the price in foreign countries As an analogy, it may result in structural failure of Thai hemp plants.

Whether in terms of investment courses in reality Because the Thai hemp industry is only 1 year old. Therefore, it is necessary to create a model and operate in an appropriate way according to the context of the country. Whether it is clear in the industry to farmers as hemp plants are still grown for purposes under midstream operator licenses. Downstream itself needs to be made clear. such as making documents of purchase contracts, purchase orders, and clear purchase periods including jointly setting the standards of raw materials in accordance with the trading price Farmers, too, need to adhere to buyer’s standards and operate according to the standards that have even been established for the species.

Or even in the part of the industry itself, it is necessary to look at the whole supply chain, from the standard of planting in the indoor format, how should there be price requirements, what kind of green house standards do you buy, and how will the outdoor prices be? And what products will it be used for? and look back on the cost of production and finally that when the destination How much can consumers have access to?
