Costco-Mexico has imported 112 tonnes of Thai rice for distribution through its 32 branches in 18 states across Mexico since mid-January.

“Mexico will be the base for distributing Thai rice to other countries in Central America, especially Panama and Cuba that are potential markets,” DITP director general Malee Choklumlerd said on January 12.

In 2015, Thailand exported 16,167 tonnes of rice worth US$6.6 million. The Thai Trade Centre in Mexico has invited rice importers from Mexico, Panama and Cuba to visit THAIFEX – World of Food Asia in Thailand, which will take place from May 31 to June 4 at IMPACT Muang Thong Thani, Bangkok.
