2 III : Fruit Marketing System in Thailand 209 Fruit Marketing System in Thailand Pattana Jealviriyapan 1 1. Introduction The agricultural sector has played an important role in the Thai economy. However, the major emphasis was placed on grain or field crops for a long time in its history. Production and marketing of fruits have received very little attention in national policy until recently. The explainable reason is that fresh fruits are perishable and difficult to market, and therefore, most of the fresh fruit productions aimed to serve the domestic market, until the past two decades where the processed fruits industry expanded. Fresh fruits and fruit products have gained more interest from the government sector and received some support for production and export under national policy. Figure 1 shows that the export value of fresh fruits and fruit products has increased steadily in the past decade. Table 1 indicates that the export quantity and value of fresh fruits increased from 62,360 tons or million baht in 1987 to 190,192 tons or 4,062.4 million baht in 1998 which was an increase of 20 and 52 % annually. The major fresh fruit export from Thailand has been durian. In 1998, Thailand exported 130,757 tons or 2,605 million baht of fresh and frozen durian which accounted for more than 50 % of the total value of fresh and frozen fruits export. Thailand also exports fresh longan at a high value. However, export quantity and value of longan change from year to year depending on production pattern. (Table 1) Thailand also exports a high value of fruit products. The major processed fruit exported from Thailand is pineapple in the form of air packed pineapple, pineapple juice and pineapple preserved with sugar. The total export value of processed pineapple was 10,651 million baht in 1998, which accounted for 73 % of the total export value of fruit product in this category.

8 III : Fruit Marketing System in Thailand 215 Thailand also imported some fresh fruits and fruit products from other countries, mainly temperate fresh fruit such as apple, grape and pear. The total quantity and value of imported fresh fruit and fruit products increased steadily from 1986 to the year 1995 then steadily decreased due to economic change in this region. (Figure 2) The major fresh fruits imported for Thailand is apple. The quantity and value of imported apple increased from 5,822 tons or million baht in 1988 to 63,330 tons or 2,161 million baht in 1995 and dropped to 29,217 tons or 1,222.7 million baht in (Table 3) However, this value accounts for approximately 60 percent of the total value of imported fruits. The steady increase of agricultural products exported indicates that the agricultural sector is strong and powerful in anticipating economic crisis. In 1998, the Thai government agreed on an export promotion program for potential agricultural products. Under this pilot project, the Thai Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives announced 4 agricultural products, namely, durian, longan, orchid and rubber to be "Product Champion of Thailand". Which means that these products would be treated as potential products for export and received more support under this policy. The Thai government set the Center for Export Promotion of Agricultural Product in March This center will provide support for quicker export procedures including plant quarantine and other activities. Another objective of this center is to help set up national standards for grading, starting with durian, longan, and orchid (3 of the product champions) and later will expand to other products. This indicate that fruit export has received more attention and therefore marketing activities should be developed intensively, particularly, grading, packaging and processing. 1,000 baht Year Fresh Fruits Fresh Fruits and Fruit Products Figure 2 The Comparison of Value imported Fresh Fruits and Total Fresh Fruits and Fruit Product

11 218 Agribusiness Management towards Strengthening Agricultural Development and Trade 2. History of Thailand Fruit Marketing and Policy The agricultural sector has played an important role in the production of food and absorbs a greater percentage of the labor population. For several decades, the Thai Government has emphasized agricultural development. Development of fruit marketing started from production for domestic consumption and later expanded to the export market. Thailand can produce many kinds of fruit commercially. Major fresh and frozen fruits produced for export are durian, mango, longan, pineapple, lychee, rambutan, mangosteen and pamelo. Production and marketing policy for export of fresh fruit has changed over time and could be summarized as follows. During the 1 st 4 th national economic and social development plans ( ) the agriculture policy aimed at production development and increased production for export. The government supported export of many agricultural products including fresh tamarind, orange, lemon and banana. During the 5 th national economic and social development plan ( ) export of fresh fruit was promoted more seriously. The major export market for Thai fresh fruits were Hongkong, Malaysia, Singapore, and the target market for exports were Japan, Europe and USA Fresh fruits exported during this period were durian, longan, rambutan, mango and pamelo. By the end of this 5 years period (1976) export quantity of fresh fruits were 351,199 tons or 5, million baht. Export value of fruit ranked number seven in plants and products category. During the 6 th National Plan ( ) government policy changed from increasing production alone, to improving efficiency of export products as well. Several actions had taken place such as quality improvement and promotion. Twenty-seven kinds of fruit, i.e., orange, pamelo, papaya, banana, jackfruit, strawberry and longan received governmental support for production and marketing for domestic and export use. By the end of this period, the quantity of exported fruits and fruit products were 698,066 metric tons or 14, million baht. During the 7 th National Plan ( ) the main objective for agricultural development were (1) to stabilize prices of agricultural products (2) to improve average income levels of farm families and income distribution and (3) to protect the environment and develop natural resources for agriculture. Since 1984, GATT (General Agreement on Tariff and Trade) members have signed an agreement to open up markets for export and reduce subsidies for production and marketing. Thailand has gained advantage in fruit export and could increase export of fruits and its products to 878,328 metric tons or 20,878 million baht in value. In 1997 which was the first year of the 8 th National Plan period, the economic crisis happened. It had a

12 III : Fruit Marketing System in Thailand 219 great and long lasting impact on the economic structure. After receiving support from the IMF, Thailand had to restructure many things. While industrial sectors slowed down, the agricultural sector has expanded. Thailand has a comparative advantage in fruit production, therefore, the agricultural policy for fruit is to expand production and increase exports in order to gain some trade balance. Thailand has been very successful in increasing production of fruit such as durian, longan, mango etc. However, the support from government or policy to improve marketing is still minimum and until recently this contributed to low prices for many kinds of fruit. Since fruit production in highly seasonal, the harvesting season usually ranges between 3 4 months while some fruit can be grown all year round. These factors make it more difficult for marketing. Thailand has no auction market for fruit as in Taiwan or other countries and a central market for fruit is still not functioning efficiently. This study aims to provide the understanding of Thai fruit marketing and policy as compared to fruit marketing in Taiwan. The following section will explain marketing structure for fruit in the overall picture and later focuses on marketing of durian which has the highest value of the fresh and frozen fruits exported. The major export markets for fresh durian are Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the markets for frozen durian are USA, Taiwan and Hong Kong, respectively. 3. Marketing Structure of Fruits in Thailand As mentioned earlier, most of the fruits are produced to supply the domestic market. The structure of the domestic market can be divided into 3 major sub-markets. 1) Local center market 2) Bangkok market 3) Other provincial market 1) Local center markets are scattered in production areas of each fruit, mainly in the north for longan and in the east for durian, rambutan, mangosteen etc. Market structures at this level are perfectly competitive. The center market can be formal or informal depending on the area. Sometimes there are only temporary points of purchasing where large traders will come and any fruit sellers can go to sell their products. Marketing information is available at the market place. Negotiation between traders and growers are common in this market. However, most of the growers do not have strong farmer s associations or cooperatives and therefore, have less bargaining power. Price of fruit at this market, depends on the demand and supply.

13 220 Agribusiness Management towards Strengthening Agricultural Development and Trade 2) Bangkok market: Bangkok is the major wholesale market for fruits in Thailand. Local collectors, traders and some growers will bring their products to this market from all over the country. This market operates all year round with different fruits in different seasons. The major fruit markets in Bangkok are Mahanak market, Pakklongtalad market, and Si mummuang market. At these markets there are wholesalers from different provinces, retailers and exporters as buyers, and wholesalers in Bangkok and large growers or cooperatives as sellers. Regular contracts exist in this market and therefore the structure here is more of monopolistic competition. Most of the fruit exporters are located in Bangkok area. 3) Other provincial markets mean fruits markets in other provinces excluding the production areas. Wholesalers and retailers in other provinces can either purchase the fruit from local center markets, or from Bangkok market and sell the fruit regularly in their own province. Grading of fruits usually applies at the local markets. Transportation of fruits to this market are either small or medium size truck. Pricing of fruits in this market is a marked up price from the purchasing point. 4. Marketing System The marketing system for each kind of fruit varies from one to another, depending on demand, supply, marketing practice and storage period. The following section will explain marketing of durian as an example case of fruit marketing. 5. Marketing of Durian Thailand is the world s major producer of durian. The production area of durian has increased from 607,735 rais in 1992 to 751,956 rais in 1996 or 4.63 percent per year. Total production increased from 711,371 metric tons in 1992 to 917,689 metric tons in 1996 (A.E.O., 1999). Thailand is also a world exporter of fresh and frozen durian. The major markets for fresh durian are Taiwan and Hong Kong, which absorb about 90 percent of total export value (Table 4). Taiwan imports many kind of fresh fruits from Thailand. The highest value of Thai fruit imported into Taiwan is durian followed by mangosteen (Table 5). The total quantity and value are also increasing steadily. Therefore, one can consider this as a potential export market given that we can improve our quality and marketing standard. Durian is also exported

17 224 Agribusiness Management towards Strengthening Agricultural Development and Trade There are three major domestic markets for durian e.g. local markets (eastern part of Thailand), other provincial markets, Bangkok market, and export market. The marketing system of durian is shown in Figure 3. Most of the durians are produced mainly for fresh consumption. The marketing structure for durian varied according to the markets. Central markets for fresh durian in the local production areas are in perfect competition with many buyers and sellers. The price of durian in this market depends on negotiation and demand for export, and for other markets. In this market, collectors and wholesalers can purchase durian in many different ways such as contract farmers, and purchase whole orchards and harvest by themselves or farmers do the harvesting and sell their fruit according to grades. From collectors, durians are then transported to Bangkok for retail market or retransport to other provinces. Prices in this market are usually by marked-up price. Exporters of durian receive different prices according to grade and demand in the importer countries. 6. Marketing Practice 6.1 Buying and Selling Buying and selling practice of durian at the farm level can be divided into 4 types 1) Purchase the whole orchard There are two ways of purchasing the whole orchard. One way is the trader will go to the orchard and see the fruits which are ready for harvest at a certain time then negotiate the price with the grower. When the fruit is ready, traders will harvest themselves, weigh the fruits and pay the price which they agreed on. Another way is purchasing the whole orchard for the whole season. This way trader and grower will agree on the price and traders has to deposit half of the price and harvest themselves for the whole season which lasts 3 4 months. This practice is not very popular because traders will bear a higher risk. 2) Time to time buying and selling at the farm gate This practice is commonly used. Trader will look around and purchase any amount he wants from any orchards. The price varies according to market prices on each day, which depend on demand and supply of durian in the market.

19 226 Agribusiness Management towards Strengthening Agricultural Development and Trade 3) Selling in a central market Growers bring the fruit and sell in a local central market. These way traders will save the time visiting different orchards. The price in this market will be higher than farm gate price, and varied according to size and quality of durian. 4) Growers get together, transport, and sell durian directly to Bangkok wholesale market. Some growers set up export companies themselves and do their own sorting, grading and exporting. 6.2 Sorting and Grading: can be divided into 2 types 1) Sorting and grading for the domestic market Today, no official quality standards for the domestic market of durian have been set. Farmers and traders still rely on traditional grading, based on variety, maturity, size, pulp, color, interval quality and health. After harvesting, grower and trader will cull unmarketable fruits and separate marketable fruits. Fruits with irregular shape, disease, damage by rodents or insects will be marketed for a low price and regarded as unguarded. Graded durians will be of high quality and marketed at a premium. The price difference will mainly depend on the variety, size and appearance, but generally the durian that influences the market has the characteristic as follows: - Being harvested from the tree (not fallen fruit) with % maturity (the mature green) - Being a Chanee or Monthong - Weigh between 2 4 kg each, depending on variety. Monthong is larger than a Chanee - Good shape 2) Sorting and grading for export Today the Thai Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, prescribes durian standards as criteria for export voluntarily (Table 7 9 and Figure 4 6). However, this quality standard is only a guideline and no enforcements apply, therefore only some exporters have adopted this standard, but some companies still use their own company standard.

Upon reaching the market, they may be stacked on the floor with jute bags or cardboard or canvas underneath. However, if the durians are of high quality, they may be put on a shelf or hung for the consumer to choose from. 2) Export : The packaging of durian depends on the requirements of the destination. Durian exported to Hong Kong, Taiwan and China are fastidiously packed in a corrugated carton with kg capacity. Each box contains 3 4 fruits. A bigger box with a capacity of 6 8 fruits is also used to reduce packaging cost. For durians exported to Malaysia and Singapore, wooden crates are used by some Thai exporters. These are much cheaper than a paper box. The wooden crates come in different sizes ranging from kg capacity and holding between 4 15 fruits each.

27 234 Agribusiness Management towards Strengthening Agricultural Development and Trade 6.4 Transportation 1) Domestic Transportation: From the orchards to the market, transportation is generally by truck, with the fruit stacked without any packaging. It takes 1 2 days to reach the destination. During transportation, the trucks are covered with canvas so that the fruits are not exposed to direct sunlight. 2) Export Transportation : The mode of transportation mainly depends on the distance by truck, ship or air. Durians destined for nearby countries such as Malaysia and Singapore are usually transported by truck. For Hong Kong, Taiwan and China, transport by sea is most likely. For distant countries such as the USA and Europe, the best mode of transportation is by air. References Hirunyapradit, H. et al., 1998, Production Technology of Durian.
