Rice Production

Rice production. Rice production in Thailand is a significant part of the Thai economy, employing a large workforce [1]. Thailand has a long tradition of rice cultivation, has the fifth-largest area of rice land in the world, and is one of the world's top rice exporters [2]. Thailand plans to increase the land area for rice production, with a target to increase the area by 500,000 hectares from the existing rice cultivation area of 9.2 million hectares [3]. The Thai Ministry of Agriculture estimated that rice production would yield approximately 30 million tons in the year B.E. 2551 [4]. The most planted rice variety in the country is Hom Mali rice, which is a high-quality type of rice. However, Hom Mali rice yields significantly less than other types of rice, but it can typically be sold at a price more than twice that of other rice varieties in the world market.
