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.

So, in 2007 a trade agreement was made to to trade pork between the two countries [Japan Thailand].

Yet last year [2019 - 12 years later] Japan became the first country clear to export pork to Thailand.

 

Now Thailand wants Japan to take more more pork.

 

Seems somewhat entitled of Thailand - these news reports seem so lacking in any really information or base.

Makes you wonder if they're being sold a pig-in-a-poke.

So Japan will export to Thailand, Thailand will send their pigs back. Only one making money is the shipping company.

Like clockwork. 

Doing one of his masters bidding. 

Is there any swine flu in Africa ASF

Need to open new markets.

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.

Is this not Fake news because their telling Porkers?
