Thailand boasts a well-developed food processing sector, making it one of the world’s leading agricultural suppliers. Segments such as fruit and vegetables, fishery products, and cassava starch are mainly export-oriented, while meat products, animal feed, vegetable oil and dairy products mostly focus on the domestic market. However, the country is one of Asia’s leading fresh milk exporters. Thailand ranked as the second-largest sugar and rice exporter globally in 2017. It exports some 90% of its fish and seafood production, and was also the world’s fourth-largest broiler chicken exporter in 2017. Thus, Thailand’s food and beverage industry is truly a global player, reflecting the government’s vision, launched in 2003, that Thailand should become the “Kitchen of the World” and boost food exports.
