With Thailand's economy expected to post minimal growth this year, Nature Best Food Co Ltd, a Thai seaweed importer, manufacturer and distributor, is shifting its focus to exports.

Thai GDP is forecast to grow by 1.8% in 2025, according to the National Economic and Social Development Council, attributed to global economic uncertainties.

Thanakorn Burintarachart, managing director of Nature Best Food, said the Thai economy showed signs of sluggishness in the first quarter with consumers reducing their spending, which could lead to slower-than-expected economic growth.

This prompted the company to bolster its export markets, which are expected to see faster economic growth.

"This will help offset slower growth in the domestic market," said Mr Thanakorn.
