As the market price of rice has fallen, the Commerce Ministry will delay its plan to open the year's third round of bidding on its stockpiles, previously scheduled for early next month.
However, the government will continue to sell its rice through other methods, mainly governmenttogovernment contracts, which Thailand currently has with China and the Philippines, Commerce Minister General Chatchai Sarikulya said Friday.
