Shrimp farmers in the South are calling on the government to hold urgent talks with Malaysia over plans to tighten inspections of Thai shrimp imports from June 1, a move that could affect exports worth about 4 billion baht a year.
Preecha Sukkasem, vice-president of the Thai Shrimp Association, said stricter inspections could affect farmers in southern provinces that export shrimp to Malaysia and Singapore.
