webfact Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Thailand to re-emerge as global rice centre: Commerce MinisterBy English NewsCHIANG MAI, May 27 – Commerce Minister Boonsong Teriyapirom said today that Thailand will spring back as the world’s rice trading hub despite disappointing exports of the Thai grain last year.Officially opening the 6th Thailand Rice Convention 2013 in this northern province, he said the government has emphasised development of Thai rice to usher in the return of the kingdom as regional and international rice trading centre.He said the convention would boost rice trading countries’ confidence in the quality of Thai grain, reassuring that the public sector will push the export of Thai rice to its target despite last year’s setback.Thailand will definitely become the world’s top rice exporter given many delivery-pending orders and more sales negotiations, said Mr Boonsong.He reasserted that rice in the state’s stockpiles will be delivered to buyers as scheduled and the new lot of money will be spent as a revolving fund for the coming rice pledging scheme.A proposal for a new round of the annual rice subsidy will be submitted to the cabinet through the National Rice Policy Committee. The Commerce Ministry is continuing the pledging price at Bt15,000-20,000 per tonne.Kobsuk Iamsuree, Thai Rice Exporters Association president, said Thailand is ready to become Southeast Asia’s rice trading centre thanks to its advanced production, technology, transport system and financial service.If the government seriously pushes forward the effort, it will set a solid foundation when Thailand joins the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015, she said.However, she expressed concern that the government lacks clear guidelines to elevate Thailand as the global rice trading hub.Thailand exported two million tonnes of rice in the first four months of this year and the private sector predicted 2013 rice exports to reach 6.5 million tonnes, she said.The rice export volume as of June will determine if this year’s export forecast will have to be slashed to six million tonnes, she added.

Popular Post billd766 Posted May 27, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2013 Really? Really really? Commerce Minister Boonsong Teriyapirom said today that Thailand will spring back as the world’s rice trading hub despite disappointing exports of the Thai grain last year. Thailand will definitely become the world’s top rice exporter given many delivery-pending orders and more sales negotiations, said Mr Boonsong. So Mr Boonsong, tell the truth and PUBLISH who will buy, at what price, the Thai rice in storage. If you claim that you cannot because it is a state secret, why should anybody believe you. Proof is what is necessary not just mealy mouthed Thai politicians words. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is basically saying that she has no idea how the government expects to make this magical transformation happen. I am amazed he wasn't booed off stage by the exporters.

He is addressing the Thai rice industry face to face. Looking at the comment from below from the head of the Exporters association, I don't think she was taken in by it one bit.

aguy30 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Wonder what they do with existing stores of rice that is rotting in the warehouses? Come on politicians, pull your heads out of your puppet master's ass and do something to fix the problem. At least discount the current supply while it still has some value. 60% percent is a lot better than NOTHING and also give some to the very poor people. Thailand, the world's greatest rice producer but no longer the greatest seller of rice. Oh I know, they can buy more at the highly inflated price before the next election. That's more politically correct than just paying directly for votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcutman Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 This scam is a carbon copy of Thaksins 2004 rice scam. Go figure. The Govt is still holding 2 or 3 million tons from 2005 thru 2008 stocks. The BAAC still has that loan on its books and the government has been paying interest only, plus storage costs for the last 8 years. It is now being sold as animal feed. Does any body really believe this 16 million tons will all be sold, before it rots to an almost unusable animal feed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
