Popular Post webfact Posted October 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2020 Thailand aims to become ASEAN’s No.1 herb exporter BANGKOK(NNT) - Herbs have been considered highly valuable Thai goods of Thailand for a long time. The government has always promoted them and now aims to increase exports to make them the most popular in ASEAN. PM General Prayut Chan-o-cha said the government always gives precedence to growing herbs and the production of related products as they are one of the economic crops that earn a lot for the country. Herbs are ingredients in many products, ranging from food, drinks, cosmetics and supplements to medications. This keeps the herb market growing significantly with little competition. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, exports are as high as during normal times, especially with orders from China, Vietnam and the USA. The government is ready to support all related organizations to help develop herbal products and to double consumption, from 180 billion baht to 360 billion baht, within 2021. By achieving this goal, Thailand would become No.1 in ASEAN for herb exports. -- © Copyright NNT 2020-10-05 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overherebc Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Price of chilli and coriander etc in India starting to drop due to falling demand being reported in the TOI. Would that affect spice and herb exports from Thailand? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kinnock Posted October 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2020 Food and ingredient exports are one of the few resilient areas during the pandemic - so sounds like a good idea to me. But sorting out regulation and effective enforcement of pesticides may be a good first step. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be incredibly interesting to find out how he plans to do that? Maybe he will be nominated for a Nobel Prize for his efforts at producing humourous comments! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Misterwhisper Posted October 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2020 Aiming at a target and actually hitting it too are two completely different things. And with a little retrospecting into all those past hubs that were aimed at but never achieved I have a pretty good idea how this one is likely going to pan out. But we'll see. I probably might be less cynical about these dreadful NNT news pieces if they'd finally do away with those over-used, annoying "hub" and "No. 1" words and instead resorted to terms like "intends to increase its exports of" or "more vigorously promote exports of" and similar constructs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why when I go to my local Big C why can I only find packets of ground chillies? When I look for other natural herbs they are very limited in number, usually in a tiny over-priced bottle. No fresh herbs at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy most of herbs spices in Bangkok which are imported from India and cheaper than local Thai stuff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy most of herbs spices in Bangkok which are imported from India and cheaper than local Thai stuff Best bargain prices for spices/herbs etc I found in the market in Penang. Might be a while before I get back there I reckon. ???? Lately I'm finding that I just can't handle chilli, even in small doses. I've never been able to eat corriander, I'm in the small % of people who get a horrible taste of soap from it.
