Thailand’s dried & salted fish import volume was 5.7% lower in 2025 compared with 2024. Total import value on a CIF basis was 2.6% higher over the same period. Changes in value can reflect volume, product mix and unit values; they do not measure prices paid by individual buyers.

What does the leading origin tell us?
