Over 250 trade activities planned to boost Thai exports
The Commerce Ministry’s Department of International Trade is getting ready to launch more than 250 trade activities in a move to boost Thailand’s exports, director-general Somdet Susomboon said.
He added that the department has been closely monitoring the market situation and will launch these activities during favourable periods. The planned activities include the promotion of Thai goods via online platforms of its foreign partners including China’s Tmall, India’s BigBasket and global Amazon.com as well as in shopping malls overseas.
The department has already launched online and offline promotions for Thai goods in China and Hong Kong.
It has also launched match-making activities between Thai exporters and US importers covering 20 categories via an online channel from May to September.
He added that the department maintains its export growth target of 3 per cent this year, thanks to high demands for Thai products such as food, medical supplies and furniture.
