Description

Thailand has been recognized as the “Kitchen of the World” that produces and exports food and agricultural products globally. At the Food Security Ministerial Meeting under the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) earlier this year, Thailand expressed its commitment to strengthen its policies and regulations, as well as enhance stakeholder collaborations to improve productivity, promote biodiversity, and prioritize sustainability to address food security for people around the world.
