CIMAfor the Export of Rice from Thailand Thawatchai Dechachete 28 October 2009
Outlines • Thailand rice sector • Price Ladders • Calculation of the CIMA • Difficulties • Challenges faced and future study
Thailand rice sector • 16 million of Thai people is in the Rice Industry • Small scaled farmers only 2.4-3.2 hectare per household • Rice production is around 30 million tonne a year • 40% of the production is exported
Mojor markets for Thai Rice • Thailand exports varieties of rice, premium rice (Thai Jusmine Rice), white rice 100%, white rice 10-15%, white rice 25%, parboiled rice. • Major markets for the Thai Jusmine are the US, China, Malaysia. • Major markets for the white rice 25% are the Philippines, Senegal, Ivory Coast. • Major markets for the parboiled rice are Benin, South Africa, Russia
Rice Trade in Thailand • There are 4 persons involved in rice trade; producer, miller, exporter and importer • Rice trade is mostly run by private sector • Although Thai Government provides “the rice pledging scheme”, it is no subsidies to the Thai rice sector
Major Trade Barriers for Thai Rice • High import tariff • Monopoly importer • Subsidy in developed countries
Monopoly importer • Quantitative Restriction • Rice Import Specification Restriction • Rice Import Auction
Calculation of CIMA BMA = EDT + MTD + (PLC - PLP) + SPC The US Case EDT = 0, MTA = 11.2% of CIF price, PLC = DNA inspection expenses for Jasmine rice PLP = 0 SPC = rice fuming cost
Calculation of CIMA (cont.) BMA = EDT + MTD + (PLC - PLP) + SPC The Philippines Case EDT = 0, MTA = 50% of CIF price, PLC = 0, PLP = 0 SPC = rice fuming cost
Calculation of CIMA (cont.) BMA = EDT + MTD + (PLC - PLP) + SPC South Africa Case EDT = 0, MTA = 0, PLC = 0, PLP = 0 SPC = rice fuming cost
CIMA • BMAP = BMA/PRX * 100 • CIMA = 1 – BMAP
Difficulties • Estimation of processor and exporter cost • Estimation of meeting standard for export and cost of meeting health and safety standards.
Challenges faced and future study • CIMA cannot explain trade barrier caused by quantitative and product specification policy. • CIMA cannot show the impact from the rice import licensing auction
