The grains kept in the warehouse were White Broken Rice A.1 Super and White Rice 5%, most of which were found to have been infested with weevils. The sacks of rice that were supposed to be in the middle of the stockpile were also found to have been replaced by scaffolding, suggesting an attempt to cover-up the removal of the rice.
Col Suksan said the rice had been milled and delivered by the Marketing Organisation for Farmers to the warehouse of Phoenix Agritec (Thailand), one of four firms authorised to store the pledged rice in Muang district.
