fruits in thailand

Thailand has exported fresh fruits for many years and both the quantities and varieties are increasing steadily.

The Department of Agricultural Extension, Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, considered that although at present the exports of fresh fruits are increasing rapidly, the actual qotal production. So a publicity campaign directed at people in other countries, such uantities involved are still low comparing with the tas importers and consumers, to make them more aware of Thai fruits, would be one way of promoting increasing exports.

The objectives of preparing this second booklet, for the purpose of public relations of Thai fruits which is the major concern of the Department, are for it to act as a handbook for producers, exporters, importers and consumers so they can all learn about Thai fruits clearly in the same way, and at the same time see the efforts of the government to encourage greater exports of fresh fruits in both quantity and quality, as laid down in the sixth National Economic and Social Development Plan.
