Ranked the seventh largest producer of organic products in Asia, the DITP is aiming to increase Thailand’s share of the global organic market. The Kingdom’s main organic produce is milk, pork, cereals and fresh vegetables and fruit, while Thai herbs and spices – aloes, gingers, kaffir limes – are popular in Europe.

Germany is currently the largest consumer of organic products in the EU. The German market is estimated at around US$9 billion a year. The DITP is urging Thai entrepreneurs to develop new products with German companies in order to pass EU qualification standards more easily and to prepare for the US market.
