Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha is set to discuss the matter with his Japanese counterpart at the Asean Summit in November. 
Pig meat is traded between the two countries under the 2007 Japan-Thailand Economic Partnership Agreement (JTEPA).

Meanwhile Japan is the top market for Thailand’s Bt107-billion pig industry.
