The Agriculture and Cooperatives Ministry is devising a new strategic plan to position Thailand as the regions’ seafood hub.

Agriculture Minister Siriwat Kajornprasart revealed that the plan includes closer collaboration between the Department of Fisheries and the Fish Marketing Organization.

The Fish Marketing Organization will become a trade center for fishery products, facilitating fishermen and overseeing services offered by marine piers. The Fisheries Department will meanwhile see to it that seafood products maintain international standards in accordance with other global markets.

The highlight of the plan includes transforming the Bangkok branch of the Fish Marketing Organization into a central market for quality marine products which are targeted at providing supplies to supermarket chains, restaurants and hotels.
