The DITP announced on May 4 that fresh and processed chicken exports during the first quarter of 2015 increased by 8.3% compared with the same period last year.
“Currently the main export markets include Japan, the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Laos and Singapore, while export markets with the most growth potential are South Africa, Malaysia and Cambodia,” said DITP Director General Nuntawan Sakuntanaga. “For 2015, Thailand expects to export a total volume of 620,000 tonnes of chicken, an increase of 5% from last year, generating a total value of US$2.57 billion.”
Sakuntanaga added that the DITP is working closely with related departments to increase exports to South Korea by June. “As for the Middle East, Thai entrepreneurs will meet with Iranian counterparts to inspect the factories first and presently Thailand is awaiting an import license from Russia,” she added.
