Export growth is likely to vary across different markets and product categories. Exporters who can quickly adapt, maintain credibility, and comply with environmental and labour standards are expected to gain a competitive advantage, said Mr Dhanakorn. Strong demand for food products and processed agricultural goods persists, bolstered further by existing free-trade agreements that facilitate market access. He also called for efforts to reduce logistics costs and expedite assistance to ensure compliance with environmental standards and new global trade regulations. Together, these factors are driving the market towards high-value, innovative food products that meet internationally accepted sanitary standards.
