Thailand: Grain and Feed Update

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

MY2019/20 rice production is revised down further due to ineffective control of the outbreaks of blast disease on the main rice crop and limited water supplies for off-season rice plantings. Rice exports are revised down to 8.3 million metric tons in 2019. MY2019/20 wheat imports are revised up to 3.3 million metric tons as flour mills built up their wheat grain inventories in anticipation of trade disruption from the government’s intention to ban the chemical pesticides.
