Report context

Thai Paddy-Rice Millers and the Export-Policy Cycle

The 100kg-paddy-to-60kg-rice transformation step sits inside ~1,477 registered Thai mills with installed capacity ~3x annual paddy output. Asia Golden Rice, CR Asahi, Ponglarp, Capital Rice, and CP Intertrade lead a TREA-ranked exporter tier perched on top of a long tail of provincial mills. The 2011-2014 paddy-pledging scheme cost THB 984 billion and still defines Thai rice politics; the 2024-2025 cycle (BAAC paddy-payment programmes, India lifting its non-basmati export ban, Vietnamese ST25 quality challenge) tests miller margins and exporter pricing power.
