Farm produce exports suffering, domestic demand eyed
The COVID-19 virus will cost Thai exporters of farm produce more than Bt5 billion in the first half of the year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives declared on Wednesday (February 26).
Alongkorn Ponlaboot, an adviser to the minister, said the number of foreigners visiting Thailand is expected to drop by two million for January-March and by 4.37 million for the first half if the virus’ global spread isn’t halted before June.
