I didn't see a contrast with anything, just a focus on what's wrong with Thailand's fishing industry! TBH I suspect there is very little difference between many of the countries, as the earlier link suggested, only government will and incentives/disincentives make the difference.

Chongalulu Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 The standard Thai official's thought process to answer any poor figures or situations is simply to 'expect it to get better ' without any reasoning or considered strategy as to how to address the cause.

Burma Bill Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 As expected, Thai export products are currently too expensive! There are cheaper alternatives internationally such as rice, rubber, fish and sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if some are thinking that the same as '97 will happen again although it's unlikely. Bring all those dollars back at 60+ as was done then.

The HUB of just talking. Just talking ! it seems there is always next week, next month and next year. IT reminds me of working 3 day trade shows. Day one slow “maybe tomorrow”. Day two slow “tomorrow will be better”. Day three, oh oh, no more tomorrow ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natway09 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 The massive increases in exports over the last 20 years could not keep increasing at those levels anyway. Unsustainable 1.5 % decrease is nothing. The problem will be to maintain this years figures for the next 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of Thailand's lesser known exports which seems to do very well in it's own specialised area is high quality clock and watch parts. In 2018 Thailand exported US$250 million to Switzerland alone. Thanks mainly to Swiss company Ronda. https://www.ronda.ch/en/about-ronda-group/subsidiaries/ronda-co-ltd-thailand/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
