Thailand has no plans to limit rice exports despite growing food security fears worldwide, according to Pimchanok Vonkorpon, director-general of the Trade Policy and Strategy Office (TPSO) under the Thai Commerce Ministry.
The Thai Ministry of Commerce said on September 20 that the country’s exports dropped 4 percent in August from a year earlier after an unexpected rise in the previous month.
Thailand’s exports in November of 2017 rose for a ninth straight month by 13.4 percent, the fastest level in six years, according to the Thai Ministry of Commerce.
