The Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, led by Minister Narumon Pinyosinwat, has been closely monitoring export regulations for durian, longan, and mango. Efforts are focused on ensuring compliance with international safety standards through stricter oversight, chemical residue testing, and pest inspections. Additional sanitation measures have also been introduced to prevent contamination and enhance consumer confidence in Thai fruit exports.
