Thailand hopeful of reaching rice export target

Quick Summary:

The Thai government is hoping to achieve its rice export target of 7.5 million metric tonnes this year, despite a sharp fall in first-quarter shipments, as sales to the United States have increased, a Commerce Ministry official said on Tuesday.

"We haven't adjusted the rice export target of 7.5 million tonnes...we're still hoping it will be achieved," she said.

Thailand, the world's second-largest exporter of the grain after India, recorded a 30% annual fall in rice exports in the first quarter of 2025 following the resumption of exports from India.
