Bangkok (VNA) – Thailand exported 8.37 million tonnes of rice in January-October, a year-on-year increase of 20%, according to the Ministry of Commerce.

The Southeast Asian country plans to ship more than 9 million tonnes over the full year, gaining more than 6.4 billion USD.

The ministry attributed to upward trend to continuous orders, supported by the increased and high-quality yield of in-season rice thanks to adequate water supply for cultivation as well as high demand for Thai jasmine rice in key markets./.
