Fishery sees stronger seafood exports
With easing tension over labour issues in Thailand, the fishery industry expects exports of seafood products to grow by 2-3 per cent this year after a slight drop in the first half. Moreover, private enterprises expect the European Union to cancel its “yellow card” on the industry, or at least refrain for another six months from issuing a red card, after it sees the serious attempts made to tackle human trafficking and illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. However, private exporters foresee a positive outcome from the TIP Report upgrade.
