Organic vegetables from flood-hit Nong Sua, Thanya Buri and Bung Cham Aw districts in Pathum Thani will be on sale at the Bank of Thailand tomorrow and on Friday from 6am-2pm.
The sale is arranged by the Green Market Network to help farmers who for weeks have been unable to deliver their produce to the market because roads links to their villages were severed by flooding.
Faced with the prospect of seeing their produce perish, the network assembled a fleet of trucks capable of wading through floodwater to collect the produce from villages and put them on sale at the central bank, located in Phra Nakhon district of Bangkok.
Interested parties are required to bring their own tote or re-used plastic bags.
