During the meeting, it was stated that Thailand's process to export longan and mangosteen products to Chile is nearing its final stage. Transactions for poultry and meat products were also accelerated, while Chile confirmed the export of pears and blueberries to Thailand. These products are already regularly imported into Thailand.
The two sides are reportedly preparing to accelerate a cooperation agreement covering innovation, research and technology change in the field of agriculture. The Thai Ministry of Agriculture also announced that it aims to sustain production by supporting producers against the effects of natural disasters and floods on shrimp production.
Wacharapol said that the high consumption of shrimp in Chile and Thailand's export of shrimp to nearby regions such as the United States present opportunities for Thai businesses in the new market.
