Thai authorities discovered 13.4 million kg of frozen pork in 539 cold storage facilities during recent nationwide searches, amidst record-high pork prices.
The significant pork reserves were found despite a national shortage of live pigs, attributed to African Swine Fever (ASF) outbreaks and suspected hoarding by major businesses for profiteering.
The government is continuing cold storage facility inspections to combat hoarding and has implemented several measures, including a three-month ban on live pig exports and a special fund for farmers, to stabilize pork supply and prices.
