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 private sector has voiced significant concerns over the government's proposal to implement a fixed minimum wage of 400 baht across Thailand, fearing potential negative repercussions for businesses. Sanan Angubolkul, chairman of the Joint Standing Committee on Commerce, Industry and Banking, emphasised today that the minimum wage should account for the distinct economic conditions of each province. He urged the Tri-partite Wage Committee to respect the suggestions made by the provincial wage subcommittees, advocating against a one-size-fits-all approach.
