Experts Suggest Thailand To Limit Rice Exports

Rice experts in Thailand including members of the Thai Rice Exporters Association have suggested to the government that the country should limit this year's rice export volume to 9 million MT to ensure adequate domestic supplies.

According to Chookiat Ophaswongse, president of the Thai Rice Exporters Association, over the past few months, rice exports have exceeded 1 million MT a month. He also warned that if the current trend continued Thailand might end up having a shortage at home.
