中新社曼谷7月11日电（记者 李映民）泰国开泰研究中心在最新的报告中指出，全球气候变化对泰国农业，尤其是作为国民经济支柱的稻米生产造成显著影响。该中心预测，2024年泰国稻米总产量将出现明显下降，这标志着泰国稻米生产面临前所未有的挑战。
泰国作为世界稻米出口大国，稻米产业对于国家经济与人民生计具有举足轻重的地位。然而，近年来，气候变化导致的极端天气事件频发，如干旱、洪水、热浪等，严重影响了稻米的生长周期和产量。泰国开泰研究中心的报告指出，这些极端天气不仅损害了稻米作物的生长环境，还增加了农业生产成本，降低了农民的收入预期。
报告强调，泰国政府和农业生产者必须采取更加积极的措施，以适应气候变化带来的挑战。这包括改善灌溉系统，提高作物抗逆性，以及发展气候智能型农业技术，以减少气候变化对稻米产量的影响。此外，报告还呼吁国际社会加大支持力度，帮助泰国及其他受影响的国家，共同应对气候变化对全球粮食安全的威胁。
面对未来不确定性增加的气候环境，泰国稻米产业正面临着重构生产模式、提升抗风险能力的紧迫任务。泰国开泰研究中心的报告为泰国政府、农业生产者以及国际合作伙伴提供了重要的参考，共同为保障全球粮食安全、促进可持续农业发展贡献力量。

Headline: “Climate Change Intensifies Impact on Thailand’s Rice Output, Projected Total Production to Drop in 2024”
Bangkok, July 11 (Xinhua News Agency) – According to the latest report by the Kasikorn Research Center (KResearch), global climate change is significantly impacting Thailand’s agriculture, particularly the rice sector, which is a cornerstone of the country’s economy. The center predicts that Thailand’s total rice production for 2024 will experience a notable decline, marking unprecedented challenges for the nation’s rice production.
As a major global exporter of rice, Thailand’s rice industry plays a crucial role in the national economy and livelihoods of its people. However, in recent years, the frequent occurrence of extreme weather events, such as droughts, floods, and heatwaves, due to climate change, have significantly affected the growth cycle and yield of rice. The Kasikorn Research Center’s report highlights that these extreme weather conditions not only damage the environment for rice crops but also increase the cost of agricultural production and lower farmers’ income expectations.
The report underscores the need for more proactive measures by the Thai government and agricultural producers to adapt to the challenges posed by climate change. These measures include improving irrigation systems, enhancing crop resilience, and developing climate-smart agricultural technologies to minimize the impact of climate change on rice production. Additionally, the report calls on the international community to increase support, helping Thailand and other affected countries to collectively address the threats to global food security posed by climate change.
Faced with the increasing uncertainty of the climate environment, Thailand’s rice industry is now under pressure to restructure its production model and enhance its risk management capabilities. The report by the Kasikorn Research Center provides critical insights for the Thai government, agricultural producers, and international partners to contribute to the safeguarding of global food security and the promotion of sustainable agricultural development.
