Have you ever wondered why Thailand can't export food to fight Vietnam?

This is the answer from Gemini.

This is a lot of Thai people talk about, especially in recent years, where Vietnamese rice export numbers have soared alarmingly. In fact, "Thailand" has not lost its period, but it must be admitted that "Vietnam" is a terrible competitor for many reasons.

This is a comparison of the differences and why Vietnam stepped up as a leader in the rice market.

1.Development of rice species (market focus vs conservation focus)

* Vietnam: Focus on developing "market-preferred" rice varieties, such as soft-soled rice (ST24, ST25), which is fragrant, soft and cheaper than Thai jasmine rice. The key is that it takes short planting time (70-90 days).

* Thailand: We stick to the same jasmine rice, which, although of very high quality, takes a long time to grow (can be planted once a year seasonally), and we develop new rice varieties to market later than him.

2. Cost and productivity (Productivity)

* Vietnam: There is a very comprehensive irrigation system, especially in the Mekong Delta region, allowing rice to be grown 3-4 times a year. His yield per field (Yield) is almost double that of Thailand.

* Thailand: Most agricultural areas also rely on rainwater. Productivity per field is lower than their neighbors. Thailand's production costs (fertilizer, wages, management costs) are higher. When sold on the world market, Thai rice prices are "more expensive" than Vietnam in similar quality.

3. Marketing strategies and trade agreements

* FTA (Free Trade Agreement): Vietnam has made heavy progress on FTA with several countries, especially EVFTA (Vietnam-Europe), giving him a greater tariff advantage in exports to European markets than Thailand.

* Freshness: Because Vietnam grows many times a year, the rice he exports is always "new rice," while in Thailand, if the year is dry, the yield is small and may be old rice.

Overview summary of differences

| Topic | Thailand | Vietnam |

| ---| ---| ---|

| Strengths | Premium Quality, Strong Jasmine Rice Brand | Cheap, High Yield, Variety Breeds |

| Planting cycle | Mostly 1-2 times a year | 3-4 times a year |

| Cost | High (wages and inputs) | Lower than Thailand |

| Support | Focus on Income / Pledge Insurance | Focus on Rice Varieties and Irrigation Systems Research |

> AI view: Thailand does not lack resources, but we are in the process of adjusting from the focus of selling expensive goods (with smaller markets) to the competition for efficiency and a wider variety of rice varieties to fight low-cost soft rice from Vietnam.
