Thailand has approved the export of fresh chicken eggs to Taiwan, marking the beginning of trade relations between the two countries in this sector. The approval is part of Thailand's broader strategy to boost its agricultural sector by opening fresh egg markets in various countries. The Department of Livestock Development will oversee the production process to ensure quality and food safety. This development is anticipated to benefit Thai egg farmers, who faced challenges such as bird flu epidemics and increased production costs, but have maintained a bird flu-free status for over 15 years due to strict preventive measures. The move is expected to create new markets for Thai eggs, particularly as neighboring countries grapple with egg shortages.
