In the opposite direction, raw material prices continue to rise. Most importantly, illegally imported pork is overdue for a year. Contaminated with germs that are harmful to consumer health.
Dr. Wiwat Phongwiwattanachai Vice President of the National Swine Raisers Association said that from visiting the observation area to open 161 illegal pig cabinets at Laem Chabang, Chonburi Province. This reinforces the widespread problem of wild pigs after Thailand has experienced an ASF epidemic. The domestic pork shortage has opened up an opportunity for "wild pigs" to flood in to create artificial supply. Intervene in the price dump market until domestic prices fall. destroying opportunities for Thai farmers for more than 18 months, especially small and small farmers had to face the problem of accumulated losses all the time, and some had to stop partying causing damage to the country's economy of more than 50,000 million baht. Most importantly, illegal pigs that remain at Laem Chabang Port for a long time have been found to contain bacteria and contaminants. that is harmful to the health of consumers

The association would like to invite consumers to choose to buy Thai pork that is safe. have a meticulous feast There are strong epidemic prevention measures. Do not use red meat accelerators, good for health, from trusted stores or stores that have a standardized logo.

Dr. Wiwat, as an expert in marketing Pickboard, suggested that the government should consider measures to support pig farmers in terms of production costs. Especially feed raw materials, which have been continuously rising by about 25-30% for more than 2 years, making the price of pork in Thailand now the price that farmers are at a loss and it has been a loss accumulated for more than 6 months. Got an average of about 53-55 baht per kilogram, while the association announced the average production cost in June 2023 at 90.57 baht per kilogram.

Let the price go up and down in line with the cost of production. to help reduce the loss of farmers It is an incentive for farmers to develop farming to a higher standard. There is enough production of good quality pork to supply the market without shortages. as well as reviewing the import of animal feed raw materials, especially maize Both conditions for importing substitute raw materials and import duties to be fair to all parties in the food production chain To create food security and safety for Thai people throughout the country.-Thai News Agency
