| Programs to Promote Exports to New Markets |
To broaden Thailand's export market, the DEP has provided support to private firms that wish to travel to negotiate trade
deals and participate in trade fairs in new markets, numbering 141 countries in all. These new markets include Indochina, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe,
South Asia, Eastern Asia, and the Pacific Islands. The period of support for this project is 1999-2003. By the end of 2000, exports to new markets had increased to 30.2 percent of
Thailand's total export volume. In support of this, the DEP encouraged two types of promotion, namely participation in overseas trade exhibitions and Thai trade delegations
traveling abroad. As a result, Thai exporters took part in 431 overseas trade events and 170 trade delegations. These efforts were most successful in opening up the markets
in the Middle East and Indochina.
