IntroductionThailand has been exporting fresh fruits for several years now and the

Department of Agricultural Extension, Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives has

noted that the export of fresh fruits has increased in quantities. However it is still low

compared with total production. A publicity campaign, therefore, has been launched to

acquaint foreign overseas importers and consumers with Thai fruit.

This booklet is an attempt to give clear and accurate information about

fruits in Thailand. It is meant to be a handbook for exporters, importers and consumers,

to promote the policy of exporting quality fruits in great quantities. Scientific names of

fruits are given together with Romanized Thai names. For further information, please

and Management, Department of Agricultural Extension, Chatuchak, Bangkok 10900
