The Thai Ministry of Commerce is taking action in response to the ban on Thai coconut milk in English department stores due to allegations of monkey labor. A meeting with PETA and other representatives is scheduled to clarify the situation. The Minister has previously addressed the issue and emphasized the decline in Thai coconut product exports, particularly coconut milk, due to this misconception. An effort is being made to correct this misunderstanding and maintain export numbers by inviting coconut milk producers and processing manufacturers to discuss ways to clarify the situation to importing countries.
