sugar, meat, vegetable and fruit.• With more than 10,000 food processors in Thailand there is a huge demand for imported processing and packaging

equipment.• Thailand’s export orientated processors regularly upgrade with imported technology to maintain their world markets.• Thailand is the regional processing and distribution centre for South East Asia due to its major supply and competitive

prices of agricultural products.• Thailand is the only net food exporter in Asia and wants to maintain this lucrative position.
