THAILAND - COMMODITIES - FOOD - RICE
A Thai Muslim worker harvests rice in a field in Thailand's violence-torn southern Narathiwat province on April 15, 2008. International demand for Thai rice has soared after other top exporters Vietnam and India imposed limits on exports to ensure domestic supply. Thailand last year exported about 9.5 million tonnes, and this year's exports were expected to drop only slightly to 9.2 million tonnes, according to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Rising prices have sparked panic buying, as people stock up in hopes of beating future price hikes, while exporters have accused mills and middlemen of hoarding in hopes of more price increases in the near future.
