Thailand: Grain and Feed Update
For 2015, Thai rice exports are revised down to 9.0 million metric tons in anticipation of tighter exportable supplies of new-crop white rice and limited availability of good old-crop rice in the government socks. The government recently took precautionary steps to further limit irrigation water until next monsoon season. This is forecast to limit exportable supplies in 2016 which have been reduced from 10.0 to 9.5 million metric tons.
