BANGKOK, 16 August 2012  – Thailand has entered into an agreement with Chile to collaborate on Sanitary and Phytosanitary, in hopes of more opportunities to promote Thai farm products in South America. 

Agriculture Minister Theera Wongsamut revealed on Wednesday that he has held talks with Chilean Agriculture Minister Luis Mayol Bouchon about agricultural cooperation between the two countries.

He said that both also signed two MOUs; one on agricultural cooperation and the other on Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS).

Mr. Theera said that both MOUs highlight tighter ties and an expected increase in agricultural and agro-industrial investment between both countries.

He stated that the closer relations also mean an opportunity to boost bilateral trade of rubber, canned food and processed food from Thailand.
