Cabinet wants second look at tapioca sale

       The cabinet has declined to approve a Commerce Ministry proposal to sell more tapioca in domestic and export markets.
       Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said the sale should be approved first by the Tapioca Committee chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Korbsak Sabhavasu and then proposed to the cabinet.
       The government still has 1.6 million tonnes of tapioca chips and 326,180 tonnes of starch that have been in its stockpiles for 10 months. Further delays would result in damage to the quality,the ministry has said.
