How ready is Thai low-carbon rice to compete with the Vietnamese? (Current Issue No.3558)

คะแนนเฉลี่ย
  • The eco-friendly trends, stringent global environmental trade criteria, and green consumer trends have prompted Thailand to adopt low-carbon agriculture, especially in rice production, which emits high amounts of methane. 
  • Thailand’s capacity to produce low-carbon rice is at 4 million tons, while the Vietnamese yield is 1.6x greater at 6.3 million tons.
  • If the EU enforces low-carbon rice trade criteria, Thailand may be able to sustain such exports due to adequate production.
