Myanmar’s Ministry of Commerce revealed that the Philippines has offered to ink a government-to-government treaty to buy rice from its fellow Asean country.

 

“The Philippines has offered to buy rice. More detailed discussions are needed [for the treaty]. Currently, it imports rice mainly from Vietnam. Its market has an enormous demand for rice,” said Khin Maung Lwin, a senior official from the ministry.


The Philippines would become an excellent market for rice when the deal was made, the civil servant said.


It also offered to buy rice from Myanmar in early 2016 but failed to make a deal. As there was a price gap between Myanmar and Vietnam, the latter apparently won the tender for a rice deal.

But, but Thai rice is the best in the world and everyone should buy it - even at a premium

And where are the Thai Govt Officials as the world economy and neighbouring countries pass them by? Oh yes....
daily exercise more important to the PM.

Wonder what happened to the deal Thailand was supposed to make with the Philippines for this rice?
