The Director-General of Thailand's Department of Internal Trade, Mr. Wattanasak Sueaiam, has reassured the public that the recent surge in chili prices is temporary, attributed to low productivity due to bad weather and delayed shipping caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the higher prices, there is no actual shortage of chili, as shown by sales in wholesale and retail markets.
