webfact Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Five-year National Rice Strategy aims to make Thailand 'world leader' By The Nation File photo for reference only The five-year Thai Rice Strategy for the period 2020-24 is ready, Jurin Laksanawisit, deputy prime minister and the minister of commerce, said. The strategy prepared by a subcommittee will be proposed to a meeting of the National Rice Policy and Management Committee (NRPMC) before seeking approval from the Cabinet. The goal is to make Thailand a world leader in the production and marketing of quality rice and rice products, in four areas: foreign marketing; domestic marketing; production and processed products; and innovations from rice, Jurin said. The rice is divided into seven types according to the needs of the three markets: premium market (jasmine and Thai fragrant rice); general market (soft white rice, hard white rice and parboiled rice); and specific markets (sticky rice, coloured rice or special feature rice).

Popular Post Misterwhisper Posted September 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2020 I grew up in western Europe during the Cold War. "5 Year Plan", "10 Year Plan" or "20 Year Plan" to my ears still sounds like something a Communist party's central committee in some Eastern Bloc country would announce. And I also remember that pretty much all these ambitious sounding "xx year plans" rather uniformly turned out to be utter duds. If only one or two aspects of the plan don't quite pan out, the entire scheme collapses. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansnl Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) I am really afraid Thailand missed the boat in the rice and tourist business. Sincerely hope I am wrong, the poor have been hit too much already. Edited September 28, 2020 by hansnl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLock Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Thailand is 6th is the world in terms of rice production, and 2nd in the world for rice exports (behind India)...so it depends how the define success... ...and they will decline about 9% this year in production...and may need to retain a little more than they planned to feed the people. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
