Thai export prospects should improve in the second half of this year as the global economy recovers and conditions are enhanced among trading partners, says the Commerce Ministry.
Permanent commerce secretary Keerati Rushchano said the baht exchange rate remains competitive, while the ministry has plans to ramp up market expansion later this year into seven regions and specific clusters, starting with food and fruit in the province of Yunnan and the city of Nanning in China.
The ministry also wants to explore new potential markets such as the Commonwealth of Independent States and neighbouring countries, said Mr Keerati.
