Pathum Rat ({{langx|th|ปทุมรัตต์}}, {{IPA|th|pā.tʰūm rát|pron}}; {{langx|tts|ปทุมรัตต์}}, {{IPA|tts|pā.tʰûm làt|pron}}) is a district (amphoe) in the southwestern part of Roi Et province, Thailand.

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise): Kaset Wisai of Roi Et Province; Phayakkhaphum Phisai, Na Dun, and Wapi Pathum of Maha Sarakham province.

History

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.{{cite journal|journal=Royal Gazette|volume=80|issue=59 ง|pages=1507|script-title=th:ประกาศกระทรวงมหาดไทย เรื่อง แบ่งท้องที่การปกครองอำเภอเกษตรวิสัยตั้งเป็นกิ่งอำเภอ|url=http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2506/D/059/1507.PDF|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120324103700/http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2506/D/059/1507.PDF|url-status=dead|archive-date=March 24, 2012|date=June 11, 1963|language=Thai}} It was upgraded to a full district on 27 July 1965.{{cite journal|journal=Royal Gazette|volume=81|issue=49 ก|pages=565–569|script-title=th:พระราชกฤษฎีกาตั้งอำเภอศรีสวัสดิ์ อำเภอสังขละบุรี อำเภอท่าคันโท อำเภอดอกคำใต้ อำเภอแม่ใจ อำเภอจุน อำเภอขามทะเลสอ อำเภอไพศาลี อำเภอท่าวังผา อำเภอบ้านกรวด อำเภอเด่นชัย อำเภอปทุมรัตต์ อำเภอกะเปอร์ อำเภออากาศอำนวย อำเภอดอนเจดีย์ อำเภอจอมพระ และอำเภอสามโก้ พ.ศ. ๒๕๐๘|url=http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2508/A/059/565.PDF|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081001101051/http://www.ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/DATA/PDF/2508/A/059/565.PDF|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 1, 2008|date=July 27, 1965|language=Thai}}

Economy

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, {{asof|2019|lc=yes}}, 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.
