webfact Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Japan pushed to take more Thai pork By THE NATION 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 next month. 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.

Bangkok Barry Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 We were told recently that there was a shortage of pork in Thailand because it had been sold to China as that country had suffered a severe virus among its livestock. China and a severe virus? Surely they joked, but the result was a rise in pork prices in Thailand due to the shortage. We were also told that prices would return to normal after August 7th or 14th, I forget which. They haven't. If anything, they've risen further. Now, with a pork shortage still in place, they want to sell more of it to Japan. As the saying goes, let the locals eat cake, I suppose. After all, there's money to be made in exporting the food that rightfully belongs to Thais. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
