Ris-industrin mot katastof

Nu hände ju faktiskt något liknande, tror i hela Europa för ca 40 år sedan, kött o smörbergen blev så stora att man fick rea ut dem till befolkningen Kom så väl i håg att jag köpte en hel del. Både kött o smör gick väl på sista versen.

 

Och detta hände väl på grund av att man ej kunde sälja för världsmarknads pris.

 

Bönderna fick nog betalt, fans väl ingen Sethup som hindrade dom.

Men PTP låter hellre riset ligga och ruttna än att sälja det billigare till sin befolkning.

Tror att thai är väldigt kräsen när det gäller  ris och köper inte gammalt ris när det finns färskt. Detta ris är för utlänningar, kanske Dubai!?

Bangkok, 23 April 2014, (NNT) - The Department of Internal Trade (DIT) has revealed that the price of the 5% moisture Thai rice has declined by 0.30 baht, down to 11-12 baht per kilogram, after Thailand has failed to seal a rice deal with the Philippines. 

According to Mr. Somchart Soithong, the DIT Director General, the failure to sell 800,000 tons of rice to the Philippines has shaken confidence of the bidders expected to participate in today’s Agricultural Futures Exchange of Thailand (AFET) rice auction. The department will negotiate with bidders to prevent rice prices from dropping any further. 

However, according to the Department of Foreign Trade’s reports, several countries such as Middle East nations, South Korea, African countries, and China have expressed interests in purchasing rice from Thailand, which is indicative that grain prices would recover next month, said Somchart. 

The DIT plans to auction off over 200,000 tons of pledged rice in stock in today’s 10th AFET rice auction.The rice on offer consists of 50,000 tons of Jasmine rice and 160,000 tons of 5% moisture white rice, Somchat said, adding that he is confident that the DIT will be able to sell more than half of that amount, while promising to forge ahead with the AFET auctions at least until the end of this year. The DIT has been able to sell 547,000 tons of rice, worth over 7 billion baht altogether, in nine previous auctions, the Director-General said.

Pledging policy blamed for drastic fall in price of rice
PETCHANET PRATRUANGKRAI
THE NATION

Bangkok: -- THE PRICE of Thai rice has plunged to the lowest level in six years, even lower than Vietnam's despite higher cost of production, due to the deposed government's pledging policy.

The Thai Rice Exporters Association reported last week that the price of 5-per-cent white rice had dived about 60 per cent to US$375-$389 per tonne from the all-time high of $1,020 in April 2008.

Compared to $395 quoted for Vietnamese rice, it is also the first time in history that Thai rice is cheaper.

Chookiat Ophaswongse, president of the association, blamed this on the ousted government's rice-pledging scheme. Exporters are not happy with the price trend, which should boost exports, as the cost of production has been on the rise and Thai rice quality is superior to Vietnam's.

"Thai rice should be more expensive than Vietnamese rice. Our price has, however, dropped gradually since late last year, because the government released stocks in haste," he said.

According to Chookiat, Thailand's paddy rice price is also priced lower than Vietnam's, at about Bt7,000-Bt7,500 a tonne against Bt8,000.

The pledging scheme, which quotes Bt15,000 or about $500 per tonne, has encouraged farmers to sell rice to the government. In the first two years of the scheme, the inventory exceeded 10 million tonnes.

Late last year, the dissolution of the lower House left the scheme struggling, as the government could not find the cash to pay farmers for their rice. Under pressure to raise money quickly, the stockpiles were dumped into the market, leading to the sharp drop in price.

Many foreign buyers have piled on orders for Thai rice because of the cheap price, he said.

That is supported by the Foreign Trade Department's figures for the first four months of this year. By volume, Thailand exported 3.21 million tonnes, which was 26.6 per cent higher than the 2.05 million tonnes in the same period last year.

However, by value, exports rose only 17.5 per cent in baht terms to Bt51.5 billion and only 8.3 per cent in dollar terms to $1.47 billion.

Chookiat hopes that the Commerce Ministry, after the military coup, would slow down the stockpile releases and this should prop up the price.

However, the United States Department of Agriculture projects that in the 2014-15 crop year, rice production would hit a new record of 480.7 million tonnes, up 4.6 million tonnes from the previous year. Assuming normal weather, record crops are projected for the major exporters including India, Thailand and Vietnam.

Global rice supply and consumption are projected to reach record levels of 592 tonnes and 482.2 million tonnes.

Thai move to reclaim rice crown in Hong Kong
PETCHANET PRATRUANGKRAI
THE NATION

Bangkok: -- Thailand is moving aggressively to reclaim its dominant share of the Hong Kong fragrant-rice market, after buyers there agreed to boost their orders.

After leading a recent meeting of exporters and Hong Kong rice suppliers and importers, Surasak Riangkrul, director-general of the Foreign Trade Department, said last week that the government has launched a campaign in Hong Kong, traditionally a major customer of Thai rice, especially fragrant rice, to retake its Thai jasmine rice market back from Vietnam.

Under the plan, the department has designed a project to entice Hong Kong rice consumers into tasting Thai rice. The department has also cooperated with local modern traders such as Aeon to sell Thai rice and set up pavilions at supermarkets providing cooking demonstrations for Thai jasmine rice.

"The department will continue |to boost consumption of Thai rice |by reaching out to end consumers, and will try to support hotels and restaurants that have a huge stock of Thai rice to serve at their restaurants.

Since 2008, when Thailand monopolised 91 per cent of the Hong Kong market for imported fragrant rice, its share has plummeted to about 40 per cent due to high prices.

"Thai Hom Mali rice should regain its piece of the pie soon thanks to close cooperation among the Thai government, Thai exporters and Hong Kong rice traders," he said.

The government will closely work with the private sector to promote rice exports to Hong Kong and other markets, including Singapore.

Marketing campaign

Thailand needs to carry out a marketing campaign emphasising the high quality of its rice to maximise export value. The government will next year focus on persuading Thai rice exporters to concentrate on promoting Hom Mali rice via many channels, mainly to restaurants, the modern trade and directly to Hong Kong consumers.

Thailand is losing its share of the fragrant-rice market to Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar.

Witt Maneenetr, the trade attache at the Thai Trade Office in Hong Kong, said Thailand's share of the jasmine-rice market in Hong Kong is expected to increase to 60 per cent this year from about 50 per cent last year.

Thai jasmine rice is quoted at US$1,020 a tonne, against $950 a tonne for Cambodian fragrant rice and $700 for Vietnamese rice of lower quality.

Some local traders in Hong Kong have tried to reduce costs by diluting Thai jasmine rice with lower quality rice. They fill cheap packages with the mixed rice and claim it as Thai rice. The problem has given a bad reputation to Thai rice.

To restore Thai rice's image, the Thai Trade Office will propose to the Commerce Ministry to sign an agreement with Hong Kong customs to prevent combinations of Thai and other rice and infringements of intellectual property rights.

To reassure consumers of the superb quality of Thai rice, the Hong Kong office will also cooperate with local supermarkets to put up signs on their shelves identifying Thai rice that is guaranteed.

The Thai government will cer-|tify Thai rice so that consumers |will not be lured into purchasing mixed-pack rice, which sell at cheaper prices but are of inferior quality, he added.

Tror jag inte.

 

Det fundamentala "felet" är att folk röstar rött, så kupper ifrån både gula och militären blir bara nålstick, så fort folket släpps lösa med en valsedel i hand så är vi tillbaks på rött.

 

Och jag föredrar det faktiskt framför ett "råd" utvalt av "kloka" gubbar.

 

Militären verkar nu glunka om att det ska bli val , och blir det inte val kommer nog militären så se sig utkuppade av folket, så blev det val i allafall.
