BANGKOK : -- Bidders joined the second rice auction staged by the Foreign Trade Department on Friday.
The Foreign Trade Department put on auction 139,675 tonnes of rice of various varieties namely 100 percent Hom Mali grade two, 10percent sticky rice, Hom Mali broken rice, Pathum Thani broken rice and A1 white rice.
The number of bidders are less than the first auction which attracted 46 bidders because then 5 percent white rice were put on auction.
Mrs Duangporn Rodpayat, director-general of Foreign Trade Department, said that the bid prices for 90,000 tonnes of rice had passed the minimum benchmark and a new bid will be called for the rest of the rice of this lot.
