AFMA in association with The National Food Policy Capacity Strengthening Programme (NFPCSP), Bangladesh, is organizing a study tour on rice policies and food security in Thailand. |
The objective of the tour is to develop participants’ familiarity with the rice marketing chain in the country, with a focus on processing and storage, and its potential as a source of import for the importing countries.
It will also help to have a better understanding of national policies impacting on the rice price and quality. The place visit includes Ministry of Commerce, Agricultural Future Exchange of Thailand, Rice Department and rice millers. The program also includes visiting to THAIFEX, the biggest food exhibition in Thailand.
The six-day study tour will explore the background of the rice industry in different aspects, as shown in tentative program. |
