The Thai Commerce Ministry has sought support and cooperation from the Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO), to increase the ability of Thai small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to access the Japanese market, especially for farm products.

 

Deputy Commerce Minister Napintorn Srisunpang said that he sought the help during his discussion with JETRO chairman Kurada Jun last week, and both the Commerce Ministry and JETRO have agreed to hold a seminar for Thai SMEs and Japanese business people in Thailand to promote the use and the rights under the FTAs with Thailand and ASEAN, in order to gain greater access to the Japanese market.

 

There are currently three relevant FTAs, namely the Japan-Thailand Economic Partnership Agreement (JTEPA), the ASEAN-Japan Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (AJCEP) and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).
