(Photo: AFP/VNA) Bangkok (VNA) -  The Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) has projected that Thai food exporters are likely to benefit from a global food shortage expected to intensify during the third and fourth quarters this year. According to Kriengkrai Thiennukul , chairman of the FTI, many countries might experience food shortages because such nations as India, Serbia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo and Egypt have restricted their exports, including wheat. A shortage of fertiliser and animal feed amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war resulted in lower crop yields, making stockpiling of food appear to be unavoidable. The FTI believed that the Thai food industry will benefit from this situation as purchase orders increase amid growing worries over the shortages. Thai food factories have prepared raw materials for food processing in order to meet increasing demand in the global food market, the chairman said. The federation said it is … [Read more...] about Thai food exports expected to grow well

Xoi man (savory sticky rice) is a staple of Vietnamese cuisine, universally loved for its inexpensive price and bold flavor. It is available in practically every neighborhood in Saigon from early morning to late at night. Sticky rice has long been a local favorite thanks to how long it keeps eaters full. Each stall has its own way of cooking different types of glutinous rice to get the perfect stickiness. Because of its high calorie content, glutinous rice's starch keeps diners full for longer than other starchy items like vermicelli, bread, and rice noodles. Although there are many xoi man stalls in the city, it is not always easy to find the perfect plate of this storied dish.

The pandemic has prompted the use of single-use, disposable food packaging as consumers believe single-use packaging was safer and more hygienic. Even though they have become more environmentally conscious, it’s unlikely that they will consider keeping leftover food for future meals … [Read more...] about BAEMIN extends green journey in Vietnam
