Abstract:

The diploma thesis is focused on foreign trade of Thailand, particularly on rice export in the period of 1986 – 2016. The main aim of the thesis is to conduct analysis of foreign trade of Thailand with the intention of rice export. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part firstly deals with a world production and consumption of rice. Furthermore, it describes the significance of rice to the world economy, major rice exporters and importers, determinants of rice export and international organizations in the world rice market. In addition, it describes an econometric analysis and its methods. The practical part initially deals with a trade balance of Thailand, Thailand’s rice production, export and analysis of chosen determinants. This is followed by an analysis of Thai rice export in the period from 1986 to 2016. Within the frame of analysis, there is constructed one-equation econometric model for Thai rice export, through which it is determined which factors significantly influence Thai rice export. Moreover, there is processed economic, statistical and econometric verification of the model. Subsequently, there are calculated elasticities of variables and derived prognoses of all the variables for the year 2017, 2018 and 2019.
