Thailand's Ministry of Commerce has set a rice export target of 7.5 million metric tons for 2025, a decrease from the 10 million metric tons estimated for this year. Despite this, rice exports have seen a 14% increase to 9.27 million metric tons in the first 11 months of the year, with a projected total of 10 million metric tons and a value of at least US$6 billion. The average export price of rice has also increased. The major export markets include Indonesia, Iraq, South Africa, the US, and the Philippines. The Department of Foreign Trade plans to boost rice exports by strengthening relationships and organizing promotional activities for Thai rice in key trading partner countries.
