Thailand targets exports of 6 million tonnes of rice in 2021; Covid-19 cases still rising


BANGKOK, Jan 25 (Reuters): Thailand is expecting to ship 6 million tonnes of rice in 2021, 5% higher than last year, when it exported its lowest volume of the grain in two decades, the commerce ministry said on Monday.

The 5.27 million tonnes exported last year means Thailand has moved to number three in the world for rice exports, overtaken by Vietnam, which shipped 6.2 million tonnes of the grain.
