In our Rice business, we work closely with rice millers, farmers and third-party suppliers to source and supply high-quality rice around the world. We’ve established key partnerships, such as with the Thai Rice Department, the Vietnamese Ministry of Agriculture & Rural Development (MARD), and the German development agency Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), to promote sustainable rice cultivation. In Southeast Asia, through these partnerships, we work closely with smallholder rice farmers to train them in climate-smart farming practices so that they are able to produce safer, higher quality rice that lead to improved yields and increased incomes for the farmers. Our Market Oriented Smallholder Value Chain (MSVC) programme has benefitted 29,000 farmers across Thailand and Vietnam, raising their incomes by up to 20%. The programme won the highest sustainability recognition, the Farm Sustainability Assessment Gold Level by the Sustainable Agriculture Initiative Platform in 2022 and has been nominated for the Reuters Responsible Business Awards in 2023. Building on its success, the initiative has expanded to India and Nigeria.

TREA – Thai Rice Exporters Association – Gold Sponsor

Thai Rice Exporters Association, with current 199 exporter members and 35 two-year term directors, has a very long and proud history. It was founded in 1918 under its original name Siam Rice Association. In the beginning Mr. Ngow Pek Ngam, the owner of “Nguan Seng” rice store, gathered rice wholesalers in Bangkok area and, for the first time, registered the association with the Royal Thai Police Department. The purpose of the association was to be the centre for the local rice merchants. Mr. Ngow Pek Ngam was named the first Chairman of the association. Later on the membership of the association extended to cover Bangkok rice millers along the Chao Phraya River, rice exporters and also local rice merchants.

Apart from working closely and cordially with members and the Ministry of Commerce, the association is obliged to cooperate with The Board of Trade of Thailand and The Thai Chamber of Commerce and with other related associations like The Thai Farmers Association, The Thai Rice Millers Association and The Thai Rice Wholesalers Association. The objectives are to create cooperation and understanding among industrial stakeholders and to dutifully follow the trade policies and other regulations introduced by the government. Many of the Ministry of Commerce’s programs are actively supported or collaborated by the association such as the “Thailand Hom Mali Rice Contest” which is held annually to promote the cultivation and the quality of fragrant rice, and the “Thailand Rice Convention”, a biannual world class rice conference sponsored by Department of Foreign Trade, Ministry of Commerce where Thai rice exporters and buyers all over the globe meet and discuss the industry in the most amicable ambience in Thailand.

Thai Rice Exporters Association also carries out another important function of being an important data base for information and statistics on Thai and the world rice industry. Such data are gathered from various sources including from the weekly director meeting.

At an international level, the association has expanded its activities to engage in a close and cordial cooperation with The Vietnam Food Association. Rice market data and information are exchanged weekly. The two associations alternately hold their regular meetings twice every year.

The Thai Rice Exporters Association strives to achieve its goal as Thai rice export promoter while providing its 177 members (as of November, 2022) with excellent services and information. Our aim as a Thai team is to reinforce Thai rice’s competitiveness in the world market while upholding trade ethics and values in every activity we engage in. Also we lend advice and support to the government and farmers on their rice strategies and action plans to make a stronger and better rice industry for our society.
