Pathum Rat ( Thai: ปทุมรัตต์, pronounced [pā.tʰūm rát]; Northeastern Thai: ปทุมรัตต์, pronounced [pā.tʰu᷇m làt]) is a district ( amphoe) in the southwestern part of Roi Et province, Thailand.
Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise): Kaset Wisai of Roi Et Province; Phayakkhaphum Phisai, Na Dun, and Wapi Pathum of Maha Sarakham province.
The minor district ( king amphoe) was created on 15 June 1963, when three tambons, Bua Daeng, Phon Sung, and Non Sawan were split off from Kaset Wisai district. [2] It was upgraded to a full district on 27 July 1965. [3]
The district's economy is agricultural. The area is known for its hom mali rice. It is the district's OTOP ( One Tambon One Product) product.
Although the district, as of 2019 [update], has no sugar cane cultivation, Banpong Sugar Company plans to build a sugar mill in the district to process about 24,000 tons of sugarcane a day. The facility is to be powered by sugarcane residue. Banpong Sugar belongs to the Banpong Group, the seventh largest Thai sugar-milling group, with mills in Phetchaburi and Kamphaeng Phet. It held 4.2% of the Thai sugar market in 2017.
The Pathum Rat district is divided into eight sub-districts ( tambons), which are further subdivided into 101 administrative villages ( mubans).
