14 Sept 07:59 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's Prime Minister ordered the use of military farmland to cultivate coriander, or "Chinese Parsley," aiming to reduce its soaring market price, which has reached 300-400 baht per kilogram due to recent flooding.
The Prime Minister also addressed the rising cost of fertilizers, prompting the Ministry of Commerce to engage with 19 businesses to cap prices, as China's sales to India have made fertilizer procurement challenging for Thailand.
