EBLEX, UKTI and Hybu Cig Cymru (HCC) will host a celebratory reception and dinner at the British Embassy in Bangkok to mark the UK gaining export access of beef and lamb to the Thailand market.

Jean-Pierre Garnier, EBLEX and BPEX export manager, said: “Our exports to Third Countries are growing well and we must aim to replicate our current successes in the Far East and Africa in other important Far East markets and the Indian sub-continent.

Jean-Pierre Garnier, EBLEX export manager, said: “EBLEX is committed to helping cultivate new export markets for beef and lamb."

EBLEX chairman, John Cross and export manager, Jean-Pierre Garnier will attend the event, which coincides with the VIV Asia international trade show, a show focusing on animal husbandry and processing.

“EBLEX is committed to helping cultivate new export markets for beef and lamb. There are many opportunities in the Far East and we are delighted that market access to Thailand has been secured, working with the support of Defra and UKTI. Defra and UKTI’s efforts were imperative during the lengthy process to secure export certification,” Garnier said.

“There are significant opportunities for the export of premium products to Thailand in both the retail and foodservice sectors. Both the Embassy dinner and our presence at VIV Asia will increase our visibility in the market from the outset. This will hopefully stimulate interest in our products and bear fruit for the entire supply chain.”
