Supply-chain Risk Briefing: Thailand Wildfires

1) Summary Wildfires that began in Thailand on April 1st are expected to continue until the 15th, classified as medium-level risk. These wildfires, coinciding with the dry season, may impact agricultural and manufacturing regions within Thailand.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Agricultural supply disruption: If Thailand's major agricultural zones are affected, production and export of key agricultural products such as rice, natural rubber, and palm oil may face disruptions
• Manufacturing operations halt: Factory operations may be restricted due to smoke and deteriorating air quality, with worker health concerns potentially disrupting production lines for electronic components and automotive parts
• Logistics network paralysis: Road and rail transport disruptions through wildfire areas may delay logistics flows within Southeast Asia
• Aviation transport constraints: Poor visibility due to smoke may necessitate flight schedule adjustments at major airports including Bangkok

3) Watch points

• Need to track wildfire spread range and proximity to major industrial complexes (Eastern Economic Corridor, etc.)
• Monitor Thai government emergency declarations and traffic control measure announcements
• Confirm trends in Air Quality Index (AQI) changes and manufacturing shutdown announcements
