On the day after the coup, the junta announced they would immediately pay farmers monies owed from the rice pledging scheme. One of the first tasks by the junta was to repay farmers. At the time of the coup, 92 billion baht had not been paid to farmers and since then around 5-6 billion baht a day has been paid out (around 30 billion baht had been paid since January when pressure came on the government over the failure to pay farmers and prior to that 70 Billion Baht had been paid). By the end of June, it seems likely that all outstanding payments will be made.
