Commerce Min revokes pork export ban
The Ministry of Commerce has lifted its previous ban on both the transport and export of pork as its price is declining towards the normal level; however, such a ban could be imposed again if necessary.
According to Permanent Secretary for Commerce Yanyong Phuangrach, Deputy Prime Minister and Commerce Minister Kittirat Na Ranong has endorsed the cancellation of the ban on any interprovincial transport of live pigs or pork as well as their exports to neighboring countries. The lifting of the ban was prompted by the rebounding supply of live pigs in the market and the weakening retail price of pork.
The prohibition was adopted on 5 August this year amid a constant increase of the pork price to nearly 200 THB per kilogram, which was mainly a result of supply shortages. In the future, if pork becomes expensive again, Mr Yanyong stated that similar measures could be executed in order to keep its price under control.
