“More than 85% of farmers in Isaan cannot meet basic living expenses from agriculture alone.”
While Isaan farmers face significant economic hardship, with reports indicating that over 40% of Thai farmer borrowers lack sufficient income to service their debts and a large majority of households struggle to make ends meet, there is no authoritative evidence supporting the specific "85%" figure
The claim appears to conflate or exaggerate various statistics regarding Isaan—such as the high percentage of the population engaged in agriculture (often cited around 85% in certain contexts) or high poverty and debt rates—none of which equate to the specific assertion that 85% of farmers cannot meet basic living expenses from farming alone.

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries import approximately 85% of their food needs.
Approximately 90% of cheese made in America utilizes fermentation-produced chymosin (FPC), a genetically engineered enzyme.
Fermentation-produced chymosin, also known as chymosin, became the first genetically engineered ingredient approved in the American food supply in 1990.
Fermentation-produced chymosin utilizes genetically modified bacteria or fungi into which a calf gene for chymosin has been inserted, enabling these microorganisms to produce the enzyme during fermentation.
