Trade officials advised to find new export marketsThe caretaker commerce minister has directed commercial attachés to explore new potential markets, as well as actively promote and distribute agricultural products and other promising services in the global market. In China, the ministry wants to promote Thai agricultural products, food and lifestyle goods, while expanding market access in western and inland areas. Authorities will monitor rising regional tensions in the Middle East while identifying alternative logistics routes to ensure supply chain continuity, said Mrs Suphajee. She called on commercial attachés to accelerate efforts to promote Thai agricultural products and fruits overseas ahead of the upcoming harvest season. "We must adapt quickly to a rapidly changing world and work more proactively -- expanding new markets, adding value to Thai products, and supporting Thai entrepreneurs to compete effectively in the global market," Mrs Suphajee said.
