Udon Thani:- The production of plara or Thai northeastern-traditional fermented fish is now in serious crisis, a major maker in Udon Thani’s Sangcom district said.
A couple, who have been making plara for sale for 50 years, complained that their production this year dropped from 30 tons a year to about just seven or eight tons because of inadequate fish.
Sunantha Khamsang, 63, and his wife, Sinuan Khamsang, 61, are well-known for making delicious plara among local residents and people in the northeastern province and nearby provinces.
Sunanata complained that this year local people could catch much less fish mainly because of drought.
