Nonthaburi, May 29 - Acting Director of the OCS explains the conditions for bidding on 10-year state stock rice to rice traders. It is stated that there is quite a bit of private sector interest. Emphasizing that rice can be consumed in both the domestic and export markets. The exact results will be known on June 17th as to who won the auction. While the president of the Northeastern Rice Mills and Rice Traders Association I believe in this lot of rice. When the quality of rice is improved, it can be consumed and marketed. It is considered an example of rice stored for 10 years, still good, must be studied for Thai rice in the future. Mr. Kritsanarak Jaidee, Acting Director of the Warehouse Organization (WCO), said that this morning after the WCO issued an announcement inviting participation in the general auction for the sale of rice in government stocks, no. 1/2024 to sell rice in government stock kept It is in the warehouse of the OCS by distributing the warehouse according to the condition of the stored rice. On May 29, the Warehouse Organization will hold a meeting to explain the details of the distribution of rice. in government stock Then between 31 May - 7 June 2024 (except 3 June 2024) it will be open for interested parties to view the rice at each warehouse. And it will be open for interested private individuals to submit envelopes of qualification documents on June 10, 2024, and the names of qualified bidders will be announced on June 13, 2024 before opening for submission of bids. on June 17, 2024 and the bidding envelope will be opened immediately on the afternoon of the same day. There were more than 10 people who were interested in listening to clarification and more than 10 inquiries via telephone. Therefore, we will have to follow up after going through every step on the actual envelope stand date on June 17th. How many private individuals will actually be interested in submitting envelopes? However, there are still some issues in TOR that prohibit bringing rice from the warehouse out to check the condition of the rice first. But let's just look at the condition of the rice in the warehouse. Because in the past they would take the rice to check the condition to see if there were bad seeds or good seeds. If it was fragrant rice, they had to check the Ami Rose value to see if it was correct or not. But if the amirose is too low, it may not be sold as fragrant rice and may be changed to rice instead. The estimated price depends on the viewer because the things seen with the eyes of each person are different. Some people may say that good quality rice has a high price. Some people think that the quality may improve and lose a lot. They may reduce the price down to the price. When making an offer to the government sector, it will be seen that whoever gives a high price will give it to that person. However, as a person in the rice trading industry, even taking care of the rice in the warehouse and using chemicals to take care of the rice in the warehouse Confirmed that there are not many chemicals seepi ng into the seeds. In my opinion, alpha toxin fungi depend on protein foods such as beans and corn, but in starchy carbohydrates, fungi have a very little chance of growing due to moisture. Not much, it didn't get wet. If it gets water, it will have alpha toxins, but this time it's in a warehouse condition. From the picture, it's not wet. Nowadays, entrepreneurs who pack rice into bags have machines to separate out good rice grains that are not spoiled. Even rice grains with black spots and mold can be separated out. Because there is already a lot of precision in sorting We will see general news that there are no black spots and no impurities in the different color stains. White and dark yellow can be separated with almost no effect. But rice that is old rice may have a color that changes according to the condition of age and is always yellow. Weakness, which is not effective because it is spoiled rice, because it is a grain, can be eaten and cooked. He sees that the standard of rice that we sell today is muc h higher because in the improvement system and machinery available in Thailand, it is considered world-class modern. There is no need to worry about the quality of the rice that will come out. He still has nothing impressed with TOR. It is normal, but he still looks at all the messages,' Mr. Wichai said.
