Last year Thailand exported about 1 million tonnes of pomelos worth about 45 million THB (1.3 million USD). The first lot of Thai pomelos to the US will be delivered by air next month. The US requires Thai pomelos to meet Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) standards. Meanwhile, Prayoon Insakul, permanent secretary for agriculture and cooperatives, said Australia had finally agreed to import cooked duck from Thailand after seven years of negotiations. Prayoon expected Thailand to start exporting cooked duck to Australia next month.
