  THAILAND WILL EXCHANGE DRIED LONGANS FOR CHINESE ARMOURED VEHICLES
  
  The Thailand subcommittee for negotiating the release of overstocks of longans has agreed to push 67,000 tons of longan products in exchange for Chinese armoured vehicles.
  
  The Deputy Minister of Finance, Mr VARATHEP RATANAKORN (ÇÃÒà·¾ Ãѵ¹Ò¡Ã), as the chairman of the subcommittee, has revealed the development of Thailand’s deal to exchange Thai exports of dried longan products for Chinese armoured vehicles worth 2,000 million baht by confirming that the initial negotiations have been successful.
  
  The Thai government would export overstocks of dried longans to China before July this year, which will be proposed by the subcommittee to cabinet for approval on the April 19th.
  
  Meanwhile, the subcommittee is expected to discuss the price of the vehicles and sign the contract with the Chinese authorities before the end of this month.
