Give the farmer a good price, the consumer needs to pay more to buy rice. That's basic market principles, not easy to shout like when in opposition eh! Only solution either bring down the cost or increase incomes and not muttering the same old mantra of giving farmers a good price and bringing down the price consumer has to pay. I thought they said that they already have plans
