Food Industry is one of the major sectors instrumental in driving Thailand’s economy. In 2017, food exports generated income of more than US$26 billion or about 830 billion baht to the country, employing as many as 10.75 million workers in the agricultural and fishery sectors. The competitiveness of Thai food industry lies in the complete supply chain, Mrs Sakuntanaga went on.
