The Department of Trade Negotiations under the Ministry of Commerce is holding the annual ‘FTA Fair’ from February 25 to March 3 to promote Thai products and the benefits of free trade agreements (FTAs).
Deputy Commerce Minister Sinit Lertkrai said the annual fair would help participants understand the benefits of FTAs. FTAs help stimulate growth for local farmers, community enterprises and potential entrepreneurs.
The ministry said the fair will be a key to supporting community enterprises and SMEs by increasing trade opportunities with international partners and penetrating new customer groups looking for health-related and environmentally friendly products.
Auramon Supthaweethum, director-general of the Department of Trade Negotiations, said the annual FTA Fair has received much positive feedback. This year, the department selected farmers, community enterprises and SMEs from provinces nationwide to participate in the fair. Around 40 booths are selling goods such as agricultural products, processed crops, milk tablets, coffee, handicrafts and jewelry.
The 2022 FTA Fair also provides consultation on FTAs and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). Attendees can also learn how to maximize profits from the existing FTAs through seminars and exhibitions.(NNT)
