Rubber growers across Thailand are planning to protest at the Bangkok residence of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, local news media reported.
They are protesting against a fall in rubber prices, MCOT website reported, quoting Chayant Sangkhapaitoon, coordinator of a network of rubber growers from the south of Thailand.
Rubber planters from the south will gather in Songkhla Tuesday before traveling to Bangkok, Chayant told MCOT.
Prices of unsmoked sheet 3-grade have fallen to about THB90/kg from more than THB120/kg in September because of global macro-economic concerns.
The government late last year set a minimum price of THB95/kg for USS3.
