Livestock sector in Thailand - statistics & facts
Thailand holds a strong position in the fisheries industry and is a big producer of poultry, especially chicken. Meat is a significant part of the Thai diet and is included in many local dishes. The market has been driven and is continuing to rise due to the demand for meat both domestically and abroad. With the number of visitors returning to pre-COVID-19 levels, there is a strong home market for chicken and pork meat, fueled by the expanding local economy and the rehabilitation of the tourism industry in Thailand, as well as the country’s service sectors. Lately, Thailand has become one of the leading countries in Asia in terms of demand for organic meat, derived from the rising awareness of healthy lifestyles.
