Published 2026-11-01

The Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives has affirmed that Thailand has abundant agricultural resources, and that the public does not need to stockpile food as many countries are currently doing. This news was published on 1 November 2569 (2026).

At a press conference, the Deputy Minister pointed out that Thailand is an important food production base for the world and one of the largest exporters of agricultural products, including rice, fruit, and processed food products. This means Thailand has sufficient food supplies for domestic consumption.

In addition, the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives stated that the government is continuously monitoring the food situation and commodity prices, so that the public can be confident that there will be sufficient food and prices will not fluctuate excessively. People should therefore receive information from reliable sources and avoid buying food to store in excessive amounts beyond what is necessary.

This confirmation comes at a time when many countries around the world are concerned about food security, which has led to the stockpiling of certain goods. For Thailand, the government emphasizes that agricultural production and export planning continue to proceed as normal.
