National Farmers Council Launches ‘Kasetkorn Wongnai’ Platform
The National Farmers Council has introduced a new digital platform, 'Kasetkorn Wongnai,' to streamline communication with farmers using ThaiD identity verification.
On September 1, 2026, the National Farmers Council officially launched 'Kasetkorn Wongnai,' a digital platform designed to gather feedback and address the needs of the agricultural sector. According to a report by Thai Post, the platform integrates the ThaiD system for identity verification, a move intended to resolve previous issues regarding slow data processing and communication delays between farmers and the council.
For residents and those involved in Thailand’s agricultural supply chain, this development represents a shift toward more efficient digital governance. By digitizing the feedback loop, the council aims to ensure that agricultural policies are informed by verified, real-time data from actual farmers.
While the platform is now operational, several aspects remain to be confirmed. It is currently unclear how the platform will handle data privacy for its users or what specific mechanisms will be used to prioritize the feedback received. Furthermore, the long-term impact on agricultural policy-making remains to be seen as the system integrates into the existing administrative framework. The launch coincides with various promotional offers in the travel sector for September 2026, though these are separate from the council's digital initiative.
