While the core responsibilities of a Training and Development Specialist are generally the same worldwide, there can be differences based on the location. In Mexico City, for example, the specialist may need to consider local labor laws, cultural norms, and business practices when developing training programs. They may also need to be bilingual, or even multilingual, to effectively communicate with employees. Additionally, they may need to have a deeper understanding of the local market and industry to tailor training programs accordingly. In contrast, a Training and Development Specialist in the U.S. may focus more on compliance with U.S. labor laws and regulations, and may not need to be as multilingual or have as deep an understanding of international markets.

Thai and Vietnamese agriculture authorities, the world's second and third largest rice exporters, met in Bangkok on Friday to explore ways to support their farmers and rice sectors and control rising production costs. Thai government spokeswoman Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana said, "We aim to raise rice prices, increase farmer income and increase bargaining power in the global market," after talks at a farm expo.

- High Supply Risk: Climate change is disrupting major rice-producing countries like Thailand and Vietnam. Limited global trade availability (only 7-10% of total production is exported). Currency fluctuations, freight costs, and government policies further threaten supply stability. 2. High Impact on Business: Rice is a staple food in Singapore, crucial for national food security. A supply shortage could lead to price inflation and food security concerns. Dependence on a few key suppliers makes supply chain diversification challenging. Procurement Strategy for Singapore: Diversify sourcing (e.g., increase imports from Myanmar). Invest in climate-smart rice research to improve resilience. Stockpile rice reserves to buffer against supply shocks. Strengthen trade agreements with key exporters like Thailand and Vietnam. Solution Rice should be positioned as a Strategic Item in Singapore's Kraljic Matrix due to its high supply risk and high impact on business (food…arrow_forwardDiscuss how partneships and collaboration contributed to Savannah Organics growth and sustainabilityarrow_forwardThailand's rice industry, which accounts for about a quarter of the world's global trade of rice, is facing a climate crisis due to frequent extreme weather events. The intensity and inconsistency of rain in 2021 has compromised the production of Thailand's most important crop, causing market turbulence, food security concerns, and leaving millions of Thai households facing economic difficulties. The industry is highly vulnerable to climate change, with Thailand ranking ninth in the world on the Global Climate Risk Index. Timing is crucial in rice growing, but the current climate conditions are making it futile. Climate change is expected to exacerbate inequalities, with rice production potentially increasing in irrigated areas while being stunted in rainfed regions. By mid-century, Thailand could expect a more than 10% decline in its overall rice yield, affecting regional food stability. Thailand, the world's third-biggest rice exporter, has struggled to regain its position as the…arrow_forward
