A variety of milled rice is available at Or Tor Kor market in Bangkok. The government plans to set up a central market for milled rice as a distribution channel for rice traders and farmers. Some 40 groups of rice farmers and 20 rice operators have agreed to participate in the planned central market for milled rice. Although Thailand is a leading producer and exporter of rice, averaging 20 million tonnes of milled rice a year, it has no central market for trading milled rice thus far. She said the presence of a central market for milled rice would further strengthen the local economy.
