It is essential to take measures to increase domestic production. Only when production of goods is expanded and increased can export products be generated, and consequently, the earned foreign currency can be spent to prioritize the import of essential goods urgently needed for the country.
Ministries and regional and state governments need to make dedicated efforts to increase production. In order to produce a greater quantity and wider range of export products that meet prescribed quality standards, relevant ministries must encourage and support business owners and provide the necessary assistance. The State Government has been implementing the National Export Strategy (NES) to promote export growth. For the 2026-2030 period, the priority sectors under the strategy must be implemented through cooperation between the government and the private sector.
The main priority sectors include the rice and agricultural products sector (rice, various types of beans and pulses, and oilseed crops), the rubber industry sector, the fisheries sector, the textile and garment sector (CMP garment industries), the forestry products sector, and the handicrafts sector. The services and technology sectors include the digital economy and digital products sector, the tourism sector, and logistics services. Supporting sectors include quality management, trade information services, and innovation and entrepreneurship development.
In line with the key priority sectors of the National Export Strategy, it is necessary to increase production volumes in the agriculture, livestock, and manufacturing sectors in order to expand exports. At the same time, authorities and business leaders must stress the innovation and technological progress needed to raise product quality and strengthen market competitiveness. Efforts must also be made to produce and export value-added finished products instead of exporting raw materials such as agricultural products, livestock products, forest products, and industrial raw material crops.
Only by sustainably and consistently increasing the production and export of goods can the country’s economy achieve steady growth. To further expand exports, depending on market conditions, benefits can also be generated for the country by integrating measures such as importing raw materials or semi-finished goods from abroad, manufacturing finished products domestically, and re-exporting them to overseas markets, as well as conducting re-export activities within the export sector.
In order to overcome the challenges currently facing the country domestically, it is essential to increase domestic production. Therefore, concerted efforts must be made to place greater emphasis on enhancing production across all sectors.
