An abundance of natural resources combined with significant investments in technology, food safety R&D and adhering to international quality standards have helped to dub Thailand as the “Kitchen of the World.” As the largest sole net food exporter in Asia, Thailand is one of the world’s largest producers of food products such as rice, canned tuna, frozen seafood, chicken and canned pineapple.
In 2011, the value of Thai food exports increased 20% from the previous year owing to strengthened economic performance amongst major food importers such as the US, Japan, and ASEAN countries.
