Thai GI Products Target Chinese Market

The Thai Ministry of Commerce has decided to launch six regional specialty products, certified with Geographical Indication (GI), into the rapidly growing Chinese market. This is part of a strategy aimed at expanding international sales channels for Thai agricultural and processed products, thereby revitalizing regional economies and increasing producers' incomes. The GI system protects and promotes products originating from a specific region, possessing qualities and reputation unique to that area. Many regional specialties in Thailand have received this certification. The six products selected for expansion into the Chinese market are expected to have particularly strong competitiveness in the international arena. China is one of the world's largest consumer markets, with increasing interest in Thai products. Through this full-scale entry into the Chinese market, the Ministry of Commerce aims to enhance the recognition of Thai regional specialties and establish stable export routes. This is anticipated to contribute to the diversification and sustainable growth of the Thai economy. Source: MGR Online (Business)
