泰国香米一直是享誉世界的优质大米品种，以茉莉香米为代表的泰国大米产业连续多年保持世界出口量第一的地位，泰国也因此而获得“东南亚粮仓”的美誉。不过今年以来，泰国香米价格的居高不下，加之受到邻国大米出口量增加的影响，泰国首次失去全球最大大米出口国地位。

Thai rice has been famous in the world of high quality rice varieties，Jasmine rice in as a representative of the Thai rice industry for many years to keep the world exports first position，Thailand also therefore and obtain“Barn in southeast Asia”Reputation of。But since this year，The Thai rice prices high，Rice exports by neighbours and the influence of the increase，Thailand first lose the largest rice exporter status。

　　来自泰国大米出口商协会的数据显示，今年前7个月泰国出口大米共370万吨，与去年同期相比减少了近60％。依照这一趋势，该协会预期在今年接下来的5个月内，泰国大米的出口量大概在300万吨左右，全年大米出口量维持在650万－670万吨之间，较去年的1065万吨缩水近40％。泰国大米出口商协会会长歌素（女）表示，泰国大米今年出口量骤减的主要原因是米价的持续居高，“大米出口下降趋势很值得我们担心，目前世界大米市场的价格还没有任何上升的趋势，因此泰国大米的价钱也在进一步地失去竞争力。”

From the Thai rice exporters association figures show，This year the first seven months of 3.7 million tons of rice Thai exports，Compared with the same period last year to reduce nearly 60%。According to this trend，The association is expected in the next five months this year，Thailand rice exports in probably around 3 million tons，Annual rice exports maintain in 6.5 million-6.7 million tons between，A 10.65 million tons last year shrink nearly 40%。The Thai rice exporters association President song element（female）said，Thailand rice exports fell sharply this year is the main reason of high in rice prices continued，“Rice exports down trend is worth us to worry about，At present the world's rice market price is not any rising trend，So the price of the Thai rice in further loss of competitiveness。”

　　泰国大米出口商协会认为，导致泰国大米价格攀升的原因首先归结于泰国政府上台一年以来实施的大米保护价收购政策。自去年10月起，为了兑现英拉政府上台前的竞选承诺，政府采取了以一定的保护价收购农民大米的政策，这一政策同时也是在去年年底泰国遭遇特大洪灾之后的一个应景的措施，以帮助农民度过洪灾后的难关。但是，由于政府的收购价远远高于市场价格，目前政府仓库中积压的大米已经超过1200万吨，政府不愿意以低价亏本卖出库存大米，又导致市场上出现大米紧缺的情况，因此泰国大米价格在这样矛盾重重的情况下持续攀升。

The Thai rice exporters association says，Thai rice to the rising price of reason first comes down to the Thai government came to power in a year of the implementation of the rice minimum price system for buying policy。Since last October，To cash the government on the judgment seat, his campaign promises，The government adopted a certain minimum price system for buying the policy of rice farmers，This policy is also the end of last year after heavy floods in Thailand a holiday measures，To help farmers through after floods of the difficulties。but，Because of government purchase is far higher than the market price，The current government in the warehouse to the backlog of rice has more than 12 million tons，The government is not willing to sell at a loss to low inventory rice，And lead to appear in the market of shortage of the rice，So rice prices in Thailand in such a conflict situation continue to rise。

　　除此之外，去年年底开始出口大米的印度从一开始就在大米市场上打出低价牌，此前泰国最大的竞争对手越南也随之调低价格以适应市场，唯有泰国米价每吨仍然高出市场价近200美元，这样居高不下的价格在竞争激烈的国际市场上自然毫无优势可言。泰国大米出口商协会副执行秘书长陈镇泰表示，虽然泰国大米质量无可挑剔，但大米毕竟只是食物，并不像奢侈品那样即使价钱昂贵仍然有人趋之若鹜，如果价钱太贵的话，客户当然会转而求其次，“我们的（大米）质量还是很好的，但是你觉得我们比人家一吨贵出两百美元，（就像）你进超市，看价钱差得很远，这只是吃的东西嘛，一般人就会找划算一点的口味还可以（的米）就行了。”

In addition，The end of last year began to export rice from the start of India in the rice market hit low brand，After Thailand biggest competitor Vietnam is then cut prices to adapt to market，Rice prices in Thailand every tons only is higher than the market price nearly $200，Such high prices in the fierce competition in the international market have no advantage in nature。The Thai rice exporters association executive vice secretary general Chen ZhenTai said，Although the Thai rice quality to the nines，But rice after all just food，Not as a luxury that even if the price is still expensive lining up，If the price is too expensive word，The customer of course will turn to the next best，“our（rice）Quality is very good still，But do you think we than the somebody else, a ton of your out of $two hundred，（as）You go into a supermarket，Look at the price far，This is just to eat things well，People will find a little taste can also be cost-effective（rice）line。”

　　此外，还有专家认为，政府在采取大米保护价收购政策的过程中存在相当严重的腐败行为，这也是导致这一政策不但没有达到预期的目的，反而影响泰国大米出口量的主要原因。泰国国家发展研究院基金会会长尼蓬呼吁泰国政府成立相关的监督小组，对收购政策的实施过程进行监督，“今年的大米收购过程中存在比以往任何一年都更加严重的腐败行为，我希望英拉总理能够成立一个独立的监督小组，对这一过程进行监督，现在已经到了必须采取措施的时候了，因为目前的情况可以说非常严重。”

In addition，And experts say，The government in take rice minimum price system for buying policy process in quite serious corruption，This is also not only lead to this policy did not reach the purpose，Instead affects the main reason for the Thai rice exports。Thailand country development research institute foundation (President of the government of Thailand, calling for the supervision of the relevant group was established，Acquisition of the implementation of the policy of supervision process，“This year's rice acquisition process in than ever before more serious corruption，I hope that the prime minister and to establish a separate supervision group，The process of supervision，Have now reached the measures must be taken，Because the situation can say very serious。”

　　针对来自米商和外界的质疑，泰国政府坚持表示，将在接下来的一年内继续实施这一饱受争议的大米保护价政策。泰国商业部长本松则表示，对于政府采取的这一政策毫无异议，虽然截止目前，大米的出口形势相对去年来说比较严竣，但是商业部会继续密切观察并做出相应的应对措施，本松说：“我们对于现在这个情形也是比较担心的，因为目前为止还没有什么好转的迹象，我们已经从经济部门收到了相关的报告，但还需进一步观察，以便下一步采取谨慎的应对措施。”

For from rice merchants and questioning of the outside world，The Thai government insisted，In the coming years will continue to implement the controversial rice its minimum price policy。Thailand business secretary, said the loose，For the government to take the policy no objection，Although so far，Rice export situation is serious relative last year，But business would continue to closely observe and makes the corresponding measures，The pine said：“We now that this is the case for it was less to worry about，Because so far no sign of recovery，We have from the economic department received the reports，But still need further observation，So that the next step to take careful measures。”

　　即使如此，本松仍然在商业部例行会议上表现出乐观的态度，并认为今年泰国仍然有望保住世界最大大米出口国地位，并将全年的出口量提升至800万－950万吨。商业部常务次长然荣则表示，泰国政府今后将侧重于出口品质上乘、价格较高的大米，争取以质量取胜，而不会过分看重出口总量。

Even so，This loose in the department of commerce still borrows a scheduled meeting an optimistic attitude，And think that this year is expected to keep the world's largest still Thailand rice exporter，And the annual exports up to 8 million-9.5 million tons。The standing long but the honor of commerce, said，The Thai government in the future will focus on export quality artistic work of high order、The rice price is higher，To win by quality，And won't disdainful of total export。
