To increase the competitiveness of the Thai shrimp industry by proposing 3 approaches: promoting both domestic and international markets; It is proposed to focus on increasing consumption.

By increasing relationships at airports, BTS stations, and various shopping malls to create awareness of the best quality Thai shrimp in the world.

This used to be the main export market with a volume of 60,000 tons per year, but now it can only export 1,000 tons per year in order to reduce export taxes. Another approach is to reduce production costs. Especially reducing taxes From animal feed, 2 important ingredients are fish meal and soybean meal. In order to compete better And the final solution is to solve the shrimp disease problem. that the shepherd still encounters I would like to allocate a budget to solve this problem.

Department of Intellectual Property and GIT Institute, while Mr. Suchat Will be responsible for the Department of International Trade Negotiations. Office of Trade Policy and Strategy and the International Institute for Trade and Development (Public Organization) ITD, confirming that Ministry of Commerce with ministers from 3 political parties, including Pheu Thai, Bhumjai Thai, and Ruam Thai Sang the Nation.

Can work together How to move the Ministry of Commerce forward? and can work for the country We will prove that even though we come from different parties, we can be united in our work and for the work of the Department of International Trade Negotiations. From the beginning, he used to take care of it and gave it to Mr. Suchat to take care of it. I believe it wil l move forward well. It is believed that Mr. Suchat himself has had many jobs as a former Minister of Labor. Knows foreign work very well, especially which countries require workers and how to enter The Department of International Trade Negotiations has the work of the Ministry of Labor. It is believed that Mr. Suchat will be able to lead the Department of International Trade Negotiations very well. in creating work for the Ministry of Commerce Mr. Suchat said that he would like to thank both of them, Mr. Phumtham and Mr. Narintorn, for giving me the opportunity to work in the Ministry of Commerce. About the agency that divides like brothers It was not difficult because he was considered the youngest. As a new member of the ministry, you must learn on the job. Ready to work in response to government policy and in response to the policies of the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Bhumitham. It was discussed that all departments work together as one, not looking at political parties, but primarily lookin g at taking care of the people's lives. Ensure that Thai entrepreneurs can go abroad. Believe that the national economy will be good. The Ministry of Commerce must be the main As for the issue of wages of 400 baht nationwide from now on, this will be an important factor. But I'm not worried about anything because I have to take care of the people's mouths, the mouths of my brothers and sisters, and the whole people. While at the Ministry of Labor, I looked at the security and well-being of our fellow workers. The matter of the Ministry of Commerce is about the country as a whole. Matters of the import-export economy, matters of daily living, cost of living for each person on a daily basis. This section is the main part of the Minister of Commerce. The policy has been given that everything must be balanced so that people and business partners can live together. However, with the 400 baht wage considered to be government policy, it is necessary to adjust accordingly and believe that there is a way to take car e of it. Both the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Bhumitham already take care of the people's living expenses. If you are afraid that the cost of living will increase There is already an agency to take care of it. And as for the private sector, it is believed that if wages increase, Thailand will be able to compete with the rest of the world. Living expenses must also be taken care of. Mr. Naphinthorn added that the labor cost will increase by 400 baht that will start on October 1st. He admitted that it will have some impact on product costs and that some products need to be adjusted upwards. But it's not like the Ministry of Commerce will allow products to rise without direction. Because any costs that actually increase must be increased according to the actual costs. But if the analysis turns out it doesn't have a big impact, then there's no need for the product to go up. There are still several months to consider before the labor payment is announced. The Ministry of Commerce has prepared a suppo rt plan. Source: Thai News Agency
