Rice is a fundamental food for Thais and a major source of export revenue. However, several threats such as volatile weather conditions, falling rice prices, high production costs, overuse of chemicals in farming that deteriorates soil quality, and fierce competition from nearby countries such as Vietnam, affect the sector’s performance. Even with government help, such challenges persist, requiring clear and proactive policies and effective solutions to overcome them.
