Over the years, Thai seafood has gradually gained worldwide recognition. And Thailand is now the largest exporter of shrimp, chilled fish, and prawns. The Thai seafood industry is one of the largest in the world in terms of production and trade. Thailand is the world’s number one exporter of canned tuna and shrimp products. The main export market is the United States, European countries, Japan, Korea and many other countries.
In 2010, exports of shrimp, squid, and fish yielded nearly 135 million baht (US$ 4.2 billion) with shrimp products being the largest contributor representing 70% at the total.
In conjunction with THAIFEX – World of Food Asia 2011, the Thai Frozen Foods Association (TFFA) will organize its own mini-exhibition called Thailand Frozen Food & Seafood Zone at the Challenger 1 Hall 1. This year there will be more than 40 suppliers occupying 224 booths.
This will further emphasize significant roles in the business that generates over 100 billion baht worth of export revenue for Thailand every year. The exhibition will highlight the reasons why frozen food products from Thailand are widely popular around the world.

About Thai Frozen Foods Association (TFFA)
Thai Frozen Foods Association (TFFA) is a private non-profit organization founded in 1968 under the Thai Trade Association Act. The original name was Thai Marine Products Association, then changed to Thai Fishery and Frozen Products Association in 1983 to cover the frozen products industry.
Finally, the present name of Thai Frozen Foods Association was adopted in 1994. The name clearly reflects the overall scenario of frozen products as food item, as well as expands the association’s supervisory role beyond marine products to cover many other food categories.
