Price determinants

| October 22, 1959. Sangwian said that this year, in China and India the production of rice was not sufficient. China might import rice from Hong Kong. He and other educated farmers recorded the annual statistics for rice production. October 29, 1959. White non-glutinous rice had higher sales than the glutinous rice. October 30, 1959. The assistant district officer said that previously villagers sold rice when they needed money to buy food, to build houses, to buy domesticated animals or to make merit. But now the villagers sold rice only when the prices were good. The Bangkok markets were the determinant for the price. The rice purchases from foreign countries (ie: Japan) also played important role as a price determinant. | Punch card
