Tridge summary

The Thai International Trade Promotion Office in Xiamen has reported a decline in Thailand's mangosteen exports to China in the first seven months of 2024, with the country facing the risk of being overtaken by Indonesia as the largest supplier to the Chinese market. Despite being the largest source of mangosteen imports in China, Thailand's import share has decreased, while that of Indonesia, Vietnam, and Myanmar has increased. The report also highlighted the impact of the 'glass meat' phenomenon on Thai mangosteen imports, increasing import risks. Additionally, Vietnam's mangosteen market share is expected to recover slightly, despite a significant decrease in production due to high temperatures and lack of irrigation, leading to a drop in quality and quantity. Meanwhile, Indonesia is preparing to export mangosteen to Australia, seeking approval for irradiation inspections on agricultural export products to overcome biosecurity measures.
