The service starts this month, supporting more than 10,000 registered ornamental fish breeders under the department. The partnership expects to cash in on the global ornamental fish market, which is valued at more than 10 billion baht per year.

According to Thailand Post president Dhanant Subhadrabandhu, the first phase focuses on the export of Siamese fighting fish (betta fish) to five key markets — the US, China, Japan, Taiwan and Indonesia — before expanding to other high-potential markets.
