Thailand Macroeconomic Assessment Bank of Thailand, October Agricultural output picked up from last month as rice harvesting was delayed to this month by rain. However, farm income was still affected by depressed rubber prices and reduced output throughout the plantation season because of drought. Industrial production was below last year s level in line with subdued demand, although the new excise tax rates which will take effect next year helped to accelerate car sales temporarily.
