Calls for an end to pork smugglingLarge cuts of pork illegally imported into the country. Pig farmers are calling on responsible authorities to take serious action to tackle pork smuggling, pointing out that the amount of smuggled pork has increased and could result in severe damage to total domestic pig farming in the fourth quarter. "The association has observed the pork smuggling situation for some time and found the amount of smuggled pork has been continuously increasing," he said. "We would like the Livestock Development Department to come up with a clearer statement on how to tackle the issue and work together with the private sector and farmers to address pork smuggling." "But before the new supply enters the market in the fourth quarter of this year, we should not allow pork smuggling to persist," said Mr Surachai.
