BANGKOK: Thailand aims to export 9.5 million tonnes of rice in 2019, the country's rice exporters association said on Wednesday, lower than the 11 million tonnes shipped in 2018.
The Thai Rice Exporters Association said in a statement the amount will be worth $4.8 billion.
The lower export volume by the world's second-largest rice exporter is due to the strengthening of the Thai baht, which has risen 2.28 percent since the beginning of the year, and increased competition from India and Vietnam.
