Despite a surge of new infections in Samut Sakhon, food processors and seafood restaurants remain upbeat about food-related business prospects.
Visit Limlurcha, president of Thai Food Processors Association, said Thai food processors are not yet concerned about the surge in new infections, adding other food-producing countries have been facing more serious outbreaks than Thailand.
"[Thailand] has never neglected the preventive and safety measures against the spread of Covid-19 but instead underlined the importance of quality, product safety, consistency and personal hygiene standards," said Mr Visit.
