The Department of Internal Trade in Thailand is working with local commercial offices and markets to sell lemons at wholesale prices, aiming to reduce the cost of living and cooking for the public. This initiative, which was launched in Lopburi Province and plans to expand to other provinces, includes coordination with farmers in Ratchaburi Province to ensure a steady supply. The department has cautioned retailers against unfair pricing and has set strict penalties for violations. This measure is in response to increased lemon prices due to adverse weather conditions, with the goal of providing more affordable lemons to consumers.
