Trat province loses B10bn in 14 days
The closure of the Ban Had Lek permanent border checkpoint to Cambodia in Trat province has resulted in economic losses exceeding 10 billion baht over the past two weeks, officials say.
The government has been stepping up efforts to support affected fruit farmers to help mitigate any disruptions to their export businesses.
Theeraj Athanavanich, director-general of the Customs Department, yesterday led an inspection of the closed border point where over 90% of local shops have closed due to the halt in cross-border trade. Maritime imports of Cambodian fishery products have also stopped completely.
