Khon kaen: Coconut plantations in Khon Kaen province are turning a crisis into an opportunity by adding value, defying the trend of falling prices. Coconut farmers in many areas of Thailand are facing the problem of plummeting prices, resulting in large quantities of produce being sold at prices that don't cover production costs.
According to Thai News Agency, one fragrant coconut farm in Khon Kaen province has turned this crisis into an opportunity by adding value to its produce. As a result, customers now come to buy the coconuts directly from the farm, and at times, there aren't enough to meet the demand.
