On May 11, 2023, Dr. Somchuan Ratanamungklanon, Director General of the Department of Livestock Development, Mr. Rapibhat Chandarasrivongs, Director General of the Department of Agriculture, and Ms. Amber Parr, Counsellor (Agriculture) at the Australian Embassy in Bangkok, participated in the 'Thailand – Australia Collaboration on Agriculture Trade' ceremony.

This ceremony marked a close collaboration between the two countries in opening trade opportunities for Thai cooked duck meat into Australia and Australian avocados into Thailand. We are pleased to announce that the technical processes for establishing import conditions for both commodities have been finalized.

During the ceremony, the Director General of the Department of Agriculture signed the Notification of the Department of Agriculture regarding the Conditions for Importing Avocado Fruit from Australia. Once this document is published in the Royal Gazette and Thailand successfully verifies it, Hass avocados from Western Australia will be allowed to be imported into Thailand.
