Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has urged local leaders to promote wider use of B20 biodiesel to reduce Thailand's dependence on imported oil, strengthen energy security and increase incomes for domestic palm oil farmers. Affected landowners and farmer representatives have demanded clear written assurances on market valuation and fair compensation norms before field surveys or land acquisition proceed. District officials are expected to hold consultations with local stakeholders to resolve the impasse.
