MP Chai-chana Urges Government Action on Mangosteen Prices in Nakhon Si Thammarat
Democrat Party MP Chai-chana Detdecho has called on government representatives in Nakhon Si Thammarat to address the declining price of mangosteen, which is causing financial distress for local farmers.
On August 20, 2026, Matichon Online reported that Chai-chana Detdecho, a Member of Parliament, has publicly urged government-aligned MPs representing Nakhon Si Thammarat to intervene in the local agricultural market. Specifically, he has invited Supajee to visit the region to witness the current state of mangosteen prices, which he claims are causing significant hardship for local farmers.
For residents and travelers in the southern region, this development highlights ongoing economic challenges within the agricultural sector. While mangosteen is a prized local fruit, fluctuations in market prices can impact the local economy and the livelihoods of those in rural communities. Visitors to Nakhon Si Thammarat may notice increased political discourse regarding agricultural support and potential government interventions in the coming weeks.
It remains to be confirmed how the government-aligned MPs will respond to this invitation and whether any specific policy measures or price stabilization efforts will be implemented to assist the farmers. As of now, the situation is characterized by a call for oversight and direct engagement from political representatives to address the economic concerns of the agricultural community.
