Bangkok (VNA) - Thailand has solidified its position as Asia’s top ice cream exporter and currently ranks fourth globally, leveraging its abundant resources and the benefits of free trade agreements.

Chotima Iemsawasdikul, Director-General of the Department of International Trade Negotiations under the Ministry of Commerce, highlighted the remarkable popularity of Thai ice cream across all age groups, particularly during warmer months.

She noted a consistent upward trend in ice cream exports, demonstrating impressive adaptability despite global trade fluctuations.
