JETRO to improve Thai SMEs access to Japan

The Thai Commerce Ministry asked for help from JETRO to improve access for Thai SMEs to the Japanese market.

In the first eight months of this year, bilateral trade between Japan and Thailand was estimated at US$59 billion. Thai exports to Japan amounted to US$24.6 billion while Japanese imports amounted to US$34.4 billion.

• The Thai Commerce Ministry is seeking support from JETRO to help Thai SMEs gain better access to the Japanese market, especially for farm products.
• Thailand has three relevant FTAs with Japan, ASEAN, and RCEP, which have contributed significantly to Thai exports to Japan.
• There is potential for increased investment and cooperation between Japan and Thailand in various sectors, including hotels and intellectual property rights training.
