煙草在線據(jù)國家多媒體報道編譯　　泰國煙草專賣將減少其在原計劃的Rojana工業(yè)園區(qū)中工廠的投資，尋找另外能夠設(shè)立第二家工廠的地方，以減少自然災(zāi)害的風險。

　　1月16日，總經(jīng)理Torsak Chotimongkol表示，泰國煙草專賣公司仍然承諾在Ayutthaya省的Rojana工業(yè)園區(qū)投資，即使去年該地被洪水淹沒了。然而，現(xiàn)在該工廠的產(chǎn)量將比此前的計劃量低。

　　他說，因為已經(jīng)在工業(yè)園區(qū)內(nèi)購買了250 rai（2.5 rai=1英畝）的地塊，完成了打樁工作，泰國煙草專賣公司不得不繼續(xù)在Rojana的投資，但是卷煙產(chǎn)量將下降到原計劃的60-65%。

　　泰國煙草專賣公司想在靠近清邁或清萊，或者在北部省份帕府省的登猜地區(qū)建立另一個工廠。該公司的主要煙草農(nóng)場都在登猜地區(qū)。

　　Torsak說，這家國有企業(yè)想通過采取預(yù)防措施來減少自然災(zāi)害，如去年反復(fù)爆發(fā)的嚴重的洪澇災(zāi)害，以提高其風險管理能力。

　　總經(jīng)理說，他要在1月18日尋求董事會批準并聘用顧問來研究潛在的新地址。如果董事會批準了該計劃，那么這個提案將被提交給內(nèi)閣。

　　如果內(nèi)閣批準了該項目，國民經(jīng)濟和社會發(fā)展委員會將對潛在的投資回報進行調(diào)查。

　　他補充說，預(yù)計工廠的地址將位于北方，要考慮接近煙草農(nóng)場、運輸并對環(huán)境的影響等因素。

　　根據(jù)以前的計劃，從曼谷搬遷到另一個省份的投資估計需要162億泰銖。

TTM scales down Rojana plans, to seek location in North

　　Thailand Tobacco Monopoly will reduce its investment in a planned factory at Rojana Industrial Park and seek another estate in which to build a second plant, as it aims to mitigate against the risk of natural disaster.

　　Managing director Torsak Chotimongkol yesterday said TTM remained committed to investing in Rojana Industrial Park in Ayutthaya province, even though the estate found itself under a massive volume of flood water last year. However, production capacity at the factory will now be smaller than under the previous plan.

　　He said that because a 250-rai plot in the park had been bought and piling work had already been completed, TTM had to continue its investment at Rojana, but cigarette production would be cut to 60-65 per cent of the original plan.

　　TTM wants to build another factory close to Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai, or in Den Chai district in the northern province of Phrae. The Kingdom's main tobacco farms are in this area.

　　The state enterprise wants to improve its risk management by taking precautions to mitigate against natural disaster such as any repetition of last year's severe flooding, said Torsak.

　　The MD said he would tomorrow seek board approval and hire consultants to study potential new locations. If the board approves the plan, the proposal will then be forwarded to the Cabinet.

　　If the Cabinet gives the nod to the project, the National Economic and Social Development Board will conduct a study into the potential investment return.

　　The factory site is expected to be located in the North, with the proximity to tobacco farms, transportation and the impact on environment being taken into account, he added.

　　Under the previous plan, the investment required for relocating from Bangkok to another province was estimated at Bt16.2 billion.
