THAILAND OPENS ITS MARKET TO PERUVIAN HASS AVOCADO
Eight years of coordinated and diligent work by
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Peru and the sanitary board of Peru, SENASA,
with the Thai authorities, culminated in the publication in the Royal Thai Government Gazette of the "Protocol on Phytosanitary Requirements for the Importation of Avocado "Hass" from Peru into Thailand. The document
was published by the Department of Agriculture of Thailand (DOA) on May 10 and
came into force the next day.
Thailand, with a population of almost 70
million inhabitants, more than 40 million tourists per year and a highly
developed gastronomic industry, is an important market for Peruvian fruits,
vegetables and hydro-biological products.
Thai people will soon be able to enjoy this nutritious and healthy
"superfood" with the exceptional quality that characterizes the
Peruvian “Hass” Avocado.
In order to start exporting avocados to
Thailand, the Peruvian Embassy in Bangkok, the Association of Exporters of Peru
and the Commercial Office of Peru in Jakarta, have been coordinating the
participation of Hass avocado producers in the delegation of Peruvian
businessmen who will participate in the 2019 edition of THAIFEX, the most
important trade fair for food and drinks in Southeast Asia, to be held in
Bangkok, between May 28 and June 1 of this year.

acknowledgments to Thai musicians. Afterward, the
organizers offered a cocktail with Peruvian cuisine.
This
concert materializes the “people to
people” contacts
between musicians and cultures of Peru and Thailand, in which the Peruvian

Thailand next October for the third consecutive year, to engage as Music
Professor at the “Thailand
