BANGKOK, June 17 (TNA) – Exports of Thai farm products to
ASEAN countries in the first quarter jumped 5.1 percent from the same period of
last year.
Office of Agricultural Economics official Tasanee Muangkaew
said Thailand’s overall trade of agricultural products with ASEAN totaled 113.5
billion baht in the first quarter.
Top Thai products included sugar, non-alcoholic beverages,
condiments and live livestock, she said.
Thailand enjoyed a trade surplus of 37 billion baht in the
first quarter, she added.
Cambodia was the largest ASEAN trade partner totaling about 14
billion baht, said Tasanee.
She noted that Thai agricultural product exports had
generally been sluggish since the end of last year due largely to drought and
COVID-19 pandemic. (TNA)
