National Farmers Council Launches 'Kasetkorn Wongnai' Platform on LINE

According to Prachachat Business, the National Farmers Council has officially launched 'Kasetkorn Wongnai,' a digital platform integrated into a LINE Official Account. This initiative is designed to establish a two-way communication channel between the government and the agricultural sector.

To participate, farmers must register and verify their identities using the Department of Provincial Administration’s 'ThaiD' system. Once verified, users can provide direct feedback on government policies that impact their livelihoods and the broader agricultural industry. The platform aims to streamline the process of gathering grassroots opinions, allowing for more responsive policy-making.

For residents and those involved in Thailand’s agricultural supply chain, this development represents a shift toward digital governance in the rural sector. While the platform is currently focused on policy feedback, it highlights the increasing reliance on the LINE application for public services in Thailand.

Several details remain to be confirmed, including the specific scope of policies currently open for discussion and how the Council intends to process the volume of feedback received. As the system is in its initial rollout phase, the long-term impact on agricultural policy remains to be seen. The initiative underscores the government's ongoing efforts to digitize administrative interactions through the ThaiD identity verification framework.
