Chiang Mai’s persimmon farmers seek help over falling prices

Today 11:14Key points summarised by AI

Persimmon farmers in Chiang Mai are dumping their harvested fruit due to plummeting prices (4-5 baht/kg) and a severe lack of buyers, making sales unprofitable after accounting for labor and transportation costs.
Prices are the lowest in years, forcing farmers to leave fruit to rot on trees, as only 20% of the estimated 500-tonne yield is expected to sell, a problem also impacting other fruit producers in northern provinces.
