Thai exports in 2010 would likely rebound by 10 to 15 per cent, according to the Commerce Ministry's forecast.
The ministry will have to adjust the plan to penetrate new markets by matching products and services with different foreign markets more suitably, Commerce Minister Porntiva Nakasai said on Monday.
"One of the main products being exported to Africa is parboiled rice. Therefore, we have to organise activities to increase parboiled rice sales there instead of promoting jasmine rice since its demand is still low and its price is high," Mrs Porntiva said.
Commerce permanent secretary Siripol Yodmuangcharoen said exports should fall 17 to 18 per cent in August and 15 to 19 per cent for the entire 2009.
