The Agricultural Futures Trading Commission (AFTC) was established in 2001 under the Agricultural Futures Trading Act, B.E. 2542 with the mission to regulate, supervise, and develop the agricultural futures trading in Thailand.

To achieve the above mission, the AFTC conducts several regulatory and supervision functions to ensure fairness, competitiveness, and efficiency of the marketplace. The regulatory functions include issuance of regulations governing futures businesses, approval of the Agricultural Futures Exchange of Thailand (AFET) trading Rules, and the licensing and supervision of futures businesses. Meanwhile, its market supervision function is to be accomplished through comprehensive market oversight programs aimed at prompt detection and prevention of manipulation and abusive trade practices and punctual initiation of appropriate action where necessary.

As regards its market development mission, the AFTC uses its intensive public relation and educational programs to keep the public informed of the benefit and functions of the agricultural futures trading and to encourage the participation of all related parties. It also promotes new products in derivatives for trading on the AFET.

The Office of Agricultural Futures Trading Commission is located at 15th Floor, CRC Tower, All Seasons Place, 87/2 Wireless Road, Patumwan, Bangkok 10330, Thailand.
