Thai Hom Mali fragrant rice has given Thai exports a major boost by regaining the world champion status it last held in 2017.
The 12th annual World Rice Conference, organised virtually by the US-based trade publication Rice Trader, announced that Thai Hom Mali rice had seen off rivals from five countries, including Vietnam, Cambodia, China and the US.
Thai Hom Mali was dethroned in 2018 by Malys Angkor, a premium fragrant variety from Cambodia and in 2019 it saw the title go to ST24, a premium rice hailing from Vietnam’s Soc Trang province.
