Tridge summary

Myanmar is planning to ban the import of beverages through land checkpoints effective May 1, 2021, and Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister, Mr. Jurin Laksanawisit, is urgently negotiating with Myanmar to address the issue. This could significantly increase transportation costs for Thailand, as the majority of its beverage exports to Myanmar, valued at approximately 10,000 million baht annually, are currently sent by land. This situation arose due to a trade deficit and increased imports of Thai beverages in 2021, likely driven by Myanmar's preference for products not associated with companies involved in the military.
