Thai fishing industry makes headway, but challenges remain
In October, the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) announced the suspension of preferential trade policies for Thailand under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP), which will affect over 500 products, including all of those related to the Thai seafood industry.
The reason cited for the removal, which will take effect on April 25 next year, was Thailand’s failure to adequately safeguard workers’ rights.
