Tridge summary

Despite a 15.5% growth in overall exports in the first half of 2021, Thailand has seen negative exports of four agricultural products: rice, canned tuna, sugar, and refrigerated and frozen pigs. The Covid-19 pandemic has led to reduced production capacity, a shortage of workers, and increased freight costs, affecting rice and pork exports.

The stability of pork prices is being considered for the future, dependent on the COVID-19 situation.
