Thailand will implement a traceability system for rice as a strategy to add value to Thai rice and boost the confidence of consumers and, in particular, Japanese importers. The plan came out of a recent meeting between Commerce Minister Porntiva Nakasai and Japanese rice traders, who called for Thailand to adopt the traceability system. The development will not only better serve demand from Japanese buyers, but also increase trading opportunities for Thai rice in other markets.
