According to government official Chai Wacharonke, the government has doubled its efforts to end an illegitimate bacon system in the nation and is determined to finish any related instances by next month.
Yesterday, Mr. Chai and representatives from the Department of Special Investigation ( DSI ), the Anti-Money Laundering Office ( Amlo ), and other organizations released a joint statement on the status of the crackdown.
According to Mr. Chai, the issue began before the state took office and has had a significant negative impact on the economy.
Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin has given the necessary organizations instructions to handle the situation quickly since taking office, according to Mr. Chai.
According to DSI director-general Pol Maj Suriya Singhakamol, smugglers have brought in 2, 385 loading containers of unlawful pork since 2020, for about 3 billion baht, according to an expanded analysis by the authorities.
Trade companies, financiers, and refrigerator room providers are the three groups that the DSI divides gangs associated with the improper pork network into.
The DSI originally filed charges against six suspects from five different companies, but a larger investigation turned up two more. But, the DSI is working to finish the situation by the following month.
Regulators are moving quickly to find those who were fleeing and track down the financial transactions.
However, on Wednesday, Pol Maj Natapon Disayatham, chairman of the DSI’s exclusive legal research center, received information on a road used for illegal meat smuggling from Northeast Micro-Scale Swine Farmer Union Chairman Duenden Yimyaem.
According to Mr. Duenden, the information relates to a broad way that is comparable to direct sales companies that target restaurants and new markets.
The earnings of little pig farmers have decreased as a result of unlawful frozen pork, and they are now outcompeted. The issue has decreased pork’s industry price nevertheless.
In a meeting with the Department of Livestock Development ( DLD ) today, the union stated that it was looking to make the small pig farm groups’ preferred solution.
The association may request that the Price of Goods and Services Act be used to set meat purchased at ranches at prices that are at least 80 baht per kilo for 90 days. For animal farmers, this is done to keep their profitability.
