Thailand’s Ministry of Commerce is accelerating a “New Rice Economy” strategy to improve rice productivity, expand value-added production, boost export competitiveness, and support more stable farmer incomes. The sector involves about 4.6 million farming households and includes a 73.82-million-rai cultivation area and a rice value chain extending from milling to packaged products.
The strategy emphasizes efficiency and differentiated, higher-value rice rather than simply increasing export volumes, which could strengthen Thailand’s competitiveness and farmer returns over time. No immediate change in rice supply or prices is reported.
