Thailand: Exporter Guide Annual

Thailand remains one of Southeast Asia's leading markets for imported food and agricultural products, with total agricultural imports reaching $23.5 billion in 2025, including $1.7 billion from the United States. Strong tourism, expanding modern retail and foodservice sectors, and a well-developed food processing industry continue to drive demand for imported consumer-oriented products. Despite slower projected economic growth in 2026, rising urbanization, changing consumer lifestyles, and demand for premium and convenience foods support positive long-term market prospects. Opportunities for U.S. exporters remain strong in dairy products, beef, tree nuts, fresh fruit, processed foods, seafood, wine, and other high-value consumer-oriented products.
