The government is trying to foster
active cooperation among rice producers within Asean countries, said
Yangyong Puangrach, Permanent Secretary for Commerce.
Initially, the marketing mechanism will
be divided into three levels - ministerial, cooperative committee and
rice trader federation levels, Yanyong said.
The Department of Foreign Trade met twice with the rice miller federation and rice traders, Thai News Agency reported Tuesday.
In the next meeting, relevant ministers
of the rice producing countries - Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and
Thailand - will be invited to meet to consider establishing a tangible
cooperative mechanism in rice market operations.
Such cooperation will also pave the way
for more cooperation in food security and energy among the Asean bloc
and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in the future.
Thailand will cooperate with Cambodia to increase Cambodia's efficiency in rice production.
The commerce ministry is sending trade
and investment representatives to negotiate with Cambodian
businesspeople in Siem Reap, Battambang and Phnom Penh from August 14 to
17 to boost exports and border trade in the sub region and to
facilitate Thai investments in the neighbouring country.
