Thailand's Livestock Product Exports See 11% Growth in 2024
Thailand's livestock exports reached over 320 billion baht, driven by quality control improvements and increased demand for frozen meat.
Thailand's export of livestock-related products achieved a record high in 2024, surpassing 320 billion baht, reflecting an 11% year-on-year increase.
This growth was largely attributed to advancements in quality control systems, specifically Good Hygiene Practices and the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system, as stated by Deputy Government Spokesman Anukool Pruksanusak.
Among livestock products, frozen meat exports saw the most significant growth, surging by nearly 50%, totaling over 160 billion baht.
Frozen poultry remained strong in key markets, including Japan, Britain, the European Union, and China.
Animal feed exports also grew notably, exceeding 100 billion baht and accounting for 32.36% of the total livestock product export value.
Additionally, pet food exports rose by 26.76%, with projections indicating further growth in 2025. Other livestock sub-sectors, such as dairy products, also saw continued expansion.
The government has expressed confidence in maintaining this upward trend, emphasizing efforts to both secure existing markets and explore new export opportunities to sustain the growth of the sector.
