Thailand's rice export potential
1984
Ross, L.E.
Extract: In recent years, Thailand's share of world rice exports has increased to over 30 percent, after stagnating production in the early 1970's caused Thailand's share of trade to decline. An exportable surplus of rice grew as Thailand's per capita intake declined and improved irrigation systems reversed the downtrend in average yields. Future growth will rely more on productivity gains than area expansion. Yields, which are low, could rise substantially, leading to milled rice production of over 13 million tons by 1990 and more than 14 million tons by 1995.
