The country is also at the center of the ASEAN economic community, a trade grouping of 650 million consumers.<\/p>\n<p>Also known as the &ldquo;Kitchen of the World,&rdquo; <span class=\"xn-location\">Thailand&rsquo;s<\/span> food sector is backed by its geographical location, rich natural resources, a top-quality local workforce, supportive investment-focused government policies, and a reputation for quality and product safety. <\/p>\n<p>The exquisite taste of Thai gastronomy is well known to international consumers. Thai specialties, such as aromatic Thai curries, stir-fries and fiery tom yam soups, are devoured hungrily in tens of thousands of Thai restaurants around the globe.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to <span class=\"xn-location\">Thailand&rsquo;s<\/span> effective management of the COVID-19 crisis, the country&rsquo;s food factories remain open and food supply chains intact. And even as economies around the world ground to a halt, international demand for many Thai food products actually increased.<\/p>\n<p>In May, <span class=\"xn-location\">Thailand&rsquo;s<\/span> agricultural and agro-industrial exports grew by 2.5 percent despite overall merchandise shipments falling due to severe disruptions in the global economy. Frozen and processed fruit and vegetable exports jumped by 83 percent. <\/p>\n<p>Overall, the proportion of food exports to total shipments from <span class=\"xn-location\">Thailand<\/span> jumped from 16 to 22 percent&nbsp;&mdash; a level that will likely be sustained in a post-COVID world, according to Pimchanok Vonkorpon, director-general of the Commerce Ministry&rsquo;s trade policy and strategy office. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Food will undoubtedly be the star product of <span class=\"xn-location\">Thailand<\/span> in the years to come,&rdquo; Pimchanok said. <\/p>\n<p>Success stories in <span class=\"xn-location\">Thailand&rsquo;s<\/span> food sector comprise leading global names as well as local champions.<\/p>\n<p>Thai Union Group, today a leading seafood producer and owner of such iconic international brands as Chicken of the Sea and <span class=\"xn-person\">John West<\/span>, started four decades ago in 1977 with the takeover of a fish processing factory. Thai Union, which supplies one in five cans of tuna sold in the world and has annual revenues exceeding <span class=\"xn-money\">$4 billion<\/span>, saw its sales rise by 6 percent in the first quarter of 2020.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We believe in the future of <span class=\"xn-location\">Thailand<\/span> and the future of the food industry in <span class=\"xn-location\">Thailand<\/span>. We also believe in the opportunities in the world market and that&rsquo;s why we are confident to make investments, especially in innovation and sustainability,&rdquo; Thai Union President <span class=\"xn-person\">Thiraphong Chansiri<\/span> said in an interview. <\/p>\n<p>Ajinomoto, a company with operations in 24 countries, opened its first factory outside of <span class=\"xn-location\">Japan<\/span> in <span class=\"xn-location\">Thailand<\/span> in 1960 to make monosodium glutamate and was the first foreign investor to receive Thai government support. Today, Ajinomoto operates 11 factories in <span class=\"xn-location\">Thailand<\/span> employing 7,000 and has branched out into the manufacture of instant noodles, amino acid-based products for athletes, canned coffee, processed and frozen food, sold in both local and international markets.<\/p>\n<p>Other multinational food companies with major investments in <span class=\"xn-location\">Thailand<\/span> include Nestle of <span class=\"xn-location\">Switzerland<\/span>, Cargill, Kellogg&rsquo;s and McCormick of the U.S. and Yamamori of <span class=\"xn-location\">Japan<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">Thailand&rsquo;s<\/span> 10,000 food processing companies stand out as reliable suppliers of safe and plentiful food. <span class=\"xn-location\">Thailand<\/span> is the world&rsquo;s number 1 exporter of canned tuna, canned pineapple, sweet corn, coconut milk, cassava, and durian. Thai exports rank 2nd in the world in rice and sugar and among the top 5 in chicken and shrimp. Although not a predominantly Muslim nation, it is the 9th largest exporter of halal products. It is also the 11th biggest global supplier of ready-to-eat meals.<\/p>\n<p>Food industry revenues account for more than 20 percent of <span class=\"xn-location\">Thailand&rsquo;s<\/span> GDP and last year the value of food exports totalled <span class=\"xn-money\">$33 billion<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Under the government&rsquo;s &ldquo;<span class=\"xn-location\">Thailand<\/span> 4.0&Prime; strategy to become the innovation hub of <span class=\"xn-location\">Asia<\/span>, high-tech food processing is one of the key industries the government has selected to promote. The BOI is offering a suite of incentives to investors in this sector, including exemption of corporate income tax for up to 8 years and so-called smart visas that enable investors and key employees to stay in the country for up to four years.<\/p>\n<p>Photo &ndash; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/photos.prnasia.com\/prnh\/20200724\/2866890-1?lang=0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener
