Thailand Boosts Rice Innovation with 'Rainbow' Rice to Outshine Rivals
File photo for reference only Thailand's rice industry is taking innovative steps to enhance its global standing amid lower yields compared to major Asian producers. The country faces a notable gap, with average rice yields at 400 to 500 kilogrammes per rai, starkly contrasted by Vietnam and China's yields exceeding 1,000 kilogrammes per rai. Despite this disparity, Thailand aims to capitalise on its famed jasmine rice and niche varieties to rewrite its narrative in the global rice market. The Department of Rice plans to elevate the status of Thai rice through targeted marketing and creative agricultural zoning. By promoting coloured and indigenous rice varieties, officials hope to tap into niche markets and position these products as luxury items. High-value rice varieties, such as coloured rice, only make up 5 to 10% of Thailand’s production but have gained popularity, particularly in China, for their unique health benefits. In a move to increase appeal, seven new varieties of coloured rice, collectively known as 'rainbow rice', are set for a 2024 debut. These varieties, featuring an array of vibrant colours, will be creatively planted in fields, forming captivating designs to attract tourists and increase awareness. Partnerships with the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) will see these rice patterns integrated into tourism campaigns. Beyond aesthetics, coloured rice farming offers promising financial prospects. Farmers can tap into various income streams, from selling protein-rich leaves to producing animal feed, providing significant economic benefits. The Department of Rice is actively encouraging this practice, especially in the Mukdahan province, to meet burgeoning demand. While yields for traditional rice varieties might lag behind regional counterparts, Thailand's inventive strategies demonstrate a determined pivot towards quality and uniqueness to capture the attention of affluent markets, thus shaping a new narrative for Thai rice on the international stage. -- 2024-12-09 -

Far-right activists from Germany spent US election day at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago
You post solely in support of a political agenda. I have no intention of controlling/censoring like the Left with their false narratives that don't stand up, and unlike the Left I believe in free speech. I also believe in robust debate as a bedrock of democracy. If someone is posting very biased or disingenuous articles in support of a false narrative I will call that out. It's no good posting something and then screaming MAGA if someone calls you out. It makes you look pathetic. Any attempt to debate is met with name calling and I will respond ROBUSTLY to tactics designed to shut down debate. In the UK we have a Government and an OPPOSITION (ostensibly), because that is a bedrock of free speech and democracy. Of all the articles out there you chose to post a Guardian hit piece on a young Christian who despite going astray in his younger days has rehabilitated himself admirably. I repeat if you want an echo chamber go to Bluesky. You don't have to respond but I think you will find your articles get shredded for all to see because you are posting propaganda aimed at people below the level of most on this board, and we see through it. This below is what people who believe in free speech are up against. -

LTR Visa - stoked!
Good point But it was the BOI lady that pointed out the hole. I was with the agent and we just shrugged - wasn't much we could do. She told us the boss may reject it. Then she left to see the boss. She came back with a big smile. We all smiled - I couldn't believe a Thai official had overlooked an excuse to piss off a foreigner. I don't think the agent helped to be honest - but who knows?
