Japan pushed to take more Thai pork
Thailand will negotiate to increase pork exports to Japan, the Pig Board said after its meeting on Thursday (August 20).
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).
Japan last year became the first country cleared to export pork to Thailand.
Meanwhile Japan is the top market for Thailand’s Bt107-billion pig industry.
