I wanted to get back to this.

GEEZER, you're a propagandist, but not a very good one. There are holes and lies and biases in every story that you print. So, to address the many other parts of the story that I didn't touch on:

Most of the rest of the article were allegations. Sometimes there allegations were preceded by the intro "critics say..." and sometimes they weren't, but allegations have all the weight that belongs to "some say" and "they say"... which means- nothing, until the allegations are investigated and either shown to be true or false, or (as is occasionally the case) something in between.

There is a lot of information missing from the article. That information would be required by ANY intelligent reader trying to reach an objective understanding of whether the rice program is working/ can work again, or not:

What have Thailand's rice exports looked like over the years?
What price was it sold at? Which agencies/ companies sold it? How much did the farmers benefit, and who else profited?
Is the Thai budget stable? (Western ratings agencies say yes)
Is the rice program sustainable, or does it put a major kink in the budget for the forseeable future? Can money be sustainably drawn from other parts of the economy to support farming? Or will farmers have to switch to a more mixed basis?

How did other nations increase their exports? Was it a one-time event, triggered by Thailand withholding its rice from market, or based on favorable weather? Or will this be a consistent "headwind" that Thai rice exports need to face?

There is too much missing information to be able to make a sound judgment, however, every article that I've read is so heavily biased against the program it's impossible to read anything from these articles other than their bias.
