Smart Planning and High Standards Will Keep Thai Perishables Competitive

Agricultural products make a substantial contribution to Thailand’s revenues. In addition to such well-known commodities as rice and rubber, Thai perishables are dominating markets around the world. The Food and Agriculture

Organization forecasts a surge in demand for food in the near future, particularly in developing countries such as those in Southeast Asia – hence its urging that countries all over the world increase food production 20 percent by 2028 by providing such incentives as support to its exporters as well as lowering taxes and fertilizer and farming costs.

Thai exporters are facing the challenge of getting their perishables to global markets, and there is no faster way to do it than by air. Therefore, developing the logistics infrastructure and supply chain capabilities to support this mission is essential.

“today’s high costs of fuel, fertilizer and shipping have greatly impacted perishables exports and raised the cost of doing business, but at the same time, we are not likely to see price increases for these products. If the situation continues, we will be under a lot of pressure to compete in difficult

Circumstances and it’s hard to see what the market will be like for us in the future. However, by managing the supply chain more efficiently and with better logistics infrastructure in place, exporters will have a better opportunity to control quality, standards and safe delivery of their products, which will help the sector grow and become more sustainable.”
