Thailand Post and the Department of Fisheries are joining hands to launch an express delivery service for ornamental fish exports in October, targeting five key markets.

The initiative aims to help more than 10,000 registered breeders expand global trade opportunities and strengthen Thailand’s branding as a hub for ornamental fish.

Thailand Post president, Danan Suphatthaphan, said yesterday that the first phase will cover shipments of betta fish or Siamese fighting fish to the United States, China, Japan, Taiwan, and Indonesia. The service will debut at Nakhon Pathom Post Office, the country’s largest betta breeding province, before expanding to other markets and species.
