Public and Private Sectors Join Forces in Promoting Premium Organic Agricultural
Products at THAIFEX—World of Food ASIA 2009
BANGKOK, Apr. 22 /InfoQuest-AsiaNet/ --
International visitors to the upcoming THAIFEX – World of food ASIA 2009 will delight in a
wondrous array of premium-quality organic agricultural products. Confidence is high in the
potential of Thai food entrepreneurs as they are geared up to demonstrate to international
buyers their capabilities and expertise in producing world-class organic agricultural products and
in making Thailand the exporter to beat in this field in the world marketplace.
Mr. Wanlop Pichpongsa, President, Thai Organic Trade Association, revealed that, “Our
association, together with, leading producers, collectors, processors and exporters of organic
products in Thailand, have worked together in organizing the showcase of premium-quality Thai
organic agricultural products at the THAIFEX 2009, organized by the outstanding partnership of
the Department of Export Promotion, the Thai Chamber of Commerce and the world-class
German event organizer Koelnmesse. The products to be on display have all been approved by
the International Federation of Organic Agricultural Movements or IFOAM, and they include rice,
fruit, spices, herbs, as well as, vegetables such as baby corn, sweet corn, coconut milk, honey
and frozen food, and even, beauty products. The event is scheduled to run from May 13th-17th,
2009, at the Challenger 2-3, IMPACT Muang Thong Thani.”
“It is noticeable that organic agricultural products actually have greater potential and
opportunities in penetrating into new markets, in comparison with other products. This is
because more and more consumers the world over are now turning to food products that are not
only healthy, but also eco-conscious. The global market for organic agricultural products is fast
growing at an average rate of 10% per year, and was estimated at over 60 Billion U.S. Dollars in
2008.” said Mr. Wanlop.
Mr. Wanlop further noted that, In contrast, the production capacity in producing and exporting
countries is struggling to meet the fast-growing demand. As a result, the current scenario indeed
presents great opportunities for Thailand, as one of the world’s major producers and exporters
of organic agricultural products, to prepare ourselves to capitalize on the increasing world
demand.
