Keerati Rushchano, who acts as the Commerce Ministry’s permanent secretary, recently shared that Thai exports were valued at a noteworthy US$24.28 billion, equivalent to 824.94 billion baht, in August. This figure showcases a 2.6% growth over the previous fiscal year, which ends in September, spanning a total of 11 months.

Keerati highlighted the progress in agricultural exports, a crucial…
