Thai firms halt syrup production as China's ban drags on

Quick Summary:

Dozens of Thai firms grappling with US$60 million losses from China's ban on sugar syrup have stopped production, an industry body said, following unsuccessful negotiation attempts by the Southeast Asian nation to lift the restrictions.

Thailand's National Bureau of Agricultural Commodity and Food Standards, the main agency handling the matter, did not respond to emailed questions.

The company, based in Samut Prakan province near the capital Bangkok, is now facing challenges in maintaining worker payments, with production down to only 10% of previous levels, and managing 50 containers of unsold stock.
