"Suriya" held discussions with Malaysia's Agriculture Minister to expedite lifting the ban on Thai shrimp caused by new measures. It is expected that the sanitary inspection process will be completed and exports will return to normal within 30 days, with simultaneous promotion of the meat and pork markets.
Mr. Suriya Juangroongruangkit, Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives. He revealed that on 1 July 2026, he traveled to attend a meeting and discussions with Dato' Seri Mohamed Sabu, Malaysia's Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, to talk about Malaysia's ban on shrimp from Thailand. Both sides discussed and agreed to jointly expedite the inspection process for residue and sanitary measures (SPS) to allow normal import and export. It is expected that if the inspection is expedited as discussed, it will take no more than 30 days.
Additionally, they discussed Thailand's plans to export meat and pork products to Malaysia. Malaysia promised to help speed up the process so Thailand can export meat and pork products to Malaysia promptly.
"The reason Malaysia banned Thai shrimp is because Malaysia is currently implementing new measures to oversee the standards of agricultural imports and exports within Malaysia, and these measures have already been enforced. However, from this discussion, it is believed that Thailand will be able to export shrimp to Malaysia normally going forward," Mr. Suriya said.
