Tridge summary

A meeting was held by the National Pig Farmers Association and the Department of Internal Trade to address the issue of pig and broiler supply and demand in northern Thailand.

Meanwhile, broiler prices are weak with some increases in large or oversized broilers, and the cost of maintaining strict biosecurity on farms continues to rise, affecting production costs.
