Thailand was the only nation in Southeast Asia to avoid colonization and the people were fiercely independent as their beloved monarchy protected them for over 800 years. Support for the farming community was rooted in the Thai traditional way of life. Many Thai and foreign tourists traveled to visit the rural areas and experience the village lifestyle, if only for the weekend. The tourism to and movie site selection of rural areas had grown into a major industry for Thailand.
After World War II, Thailand was ordered to export 1.5 million tons of rice to Western countries free of charge as a consequence for allying with Japan and declaring war against the West. Thus, the tradition of exporting rice began.
Previous to the policy that was implemented at the end of 2011, under policy introduced by the government in 2006, farmers selling rice to the government received a price that was lower than the world market price. The goal of this policy was to encourage more exports and also improve farmers’ “well-being” with a guaranteed buyer.
Between October 2007 and September 2008, the world price of rice shot up 198%. The sudden shock in price was attributed to sluggish production output and rising oil prices that had caused chemical fertilizer prices to increase sharply. The price for rice began to rise and spiraled upwards once the governments of the largest rice producing countries ordered supply of their domestic rice be kept for local consumption and not be exported aboard. This was done in an effort to keep the price of rice affordable for their own citizens. Thailand’s government, however, did not restrict the exports of rice. With the skyrocketing world price, many Thai farmers hoarded the rice so that they could sell later at a higher price. The government also initiated a rice paddy pledging program that would give loans to farms that wanted to delay the sale of their crop on a forward contract. The objective of this policy was to support the price and increase farm incomes. Because the farmers were allowed to export rice out of the country at the high world market prices, supply of domestically produced rice increased and the farmers were able to take the higher profits and increase their production capacity for future seasons as well as improve their infrastructure. In contrast, countries that had export quotas reduced profits and production capabilities of their farmers.
