BANGKOK -- Thailand lost its status as the world's top rice exporter in 2012 as a controversial scheme to boost farmer incomes saw it overtaken by India and Vietnam, an industry group said Friday.

Thailand exported 6.9 million tons of rice last year, falling behind India which shipped 9.5 million tons and Vietnam which sold 7.8 million tons overseas, according to the Thai Rice Exporters Association.

Thai exports slumped 35 percent from the 2011 level of about 10.6 million tons, based on the group's figures.
