baa99 175 Report post Posted September 13, 2013 If that is true, who is buying all this palm oil? About 400000 tonnes of palm oil per year in Thailand is used in food. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
think_too_mut 13 Report post Posted September 14, 2013 That's ~7 litres of oil per head a year. Less than half teaspoon a day for the entire population. Isaan is a third of Thai populace, if they can be fully excluded, then for the majority goes at about 10 litres a year. Sure, Isaan people do fry eggs, meat, fish and whatever but that is not the indigenous Isaan food. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Incorrect the SI conversion rate is US TSP 1 Litre = 202.884 TSP therefore 7 litres = 1420.19 TSP or 3.89 TSP / day which is 778% higher. If going for the Metric TSP then 1 Litre = 200 TSP, 7 Litres = 1400 or 3.835 TSP / day which is 767% higher. Why do you keep posting Crap? It may wash with an Isaan wife or the Japanese but you can't fool me, I have only been involved in Measurement and Control for near on 35 years.
