waza Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) OW, that's gotta sting, no wonder they are importing it into Thailand, its both better and cheaper. Cambodia shipped 28,350 tons of rice in May and 146,854 tons in the period January-May, up 127% from 64,581 tons the same period last year. If Cambodia continues at this pace, export shipments would reach about 350,000 tons by year end, up from 205,717 tons shipped in all of 2012. http://oryza.com/content/cambodia-ships-146854-tons-rice-january-may-127-last-year-thailand-china-remain-top Edited November 22, 2013 by waza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - Cambodia was in a terrible situation. Hun Set has done a fantastic job in governing the country on the road to recovery. If Thailand could only find someone like Hun Set then ........................................... For the avoidance of doubt the above post is an attempt (albeit pathetic) at political satire and irony. !! It i 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupatria Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 The dilemma around the Thai rice always makes me think- would the Saudi’s be so stupid to mess around with their oil, Idaho with its potatoes, Germans with their beer and the French with their cheese?

DrTuner Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I prefer basmati myself. Don't know if it's the way Indians prepare it or what, but the cooked grains are not slimy and taste better. Not that I eat that much rice anymore, got an overdose in the first two years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
