Despite weak performance in the Thailand’s overall exports, gem and jewellery shipments are expected perform well.
The director-general of the International Trade Promotion Department said that the department remains upbeat that gem and jewellery exports (including gold) will grow by more than 1% from last year.
“Thai gems and jewellery are still valued for their superior craftsmanship and design quality,” she said.
Gem and jewellery exports including gold are in third place in the country’s total export value, after vehicle parts and computers parts.
