00:00 Yellow crab is an important ingredient in animal feed production.
00:04 Thailand can produce 20,000 tons of yellow crab per year.
00:09 So it is necessary to import 3 million tons from abroad per year.
00:14 There are a lot.
00:15 The approval for importing yellow crab is considered every 3 years.
00:22 This year will end on December 31, 2016.
00:26 On December 12, the approval for importing yellow crab was revoked.
00:33 The approval for importing yellow crab will be renewed on December 26.
00:39 Tomorrow?
00:40 Tomorrow.
00:40 If the approval for importing yellow crab is not approved in time,
00:43 it will not be able to import yellow crab.
00:46 This will affect the production of animal feed in Thailand.
00:50 Let's take a look at the details.
00:53 On behalf of the Secretary for Animal Welfare and Animal Welfare,
00:56 Khun Pornsin Patcharin Tanakul said
00:59 that on December 21, 2016,
01:02 the Secretary-General submitted a letter to the Prime Minister
01:05 which is the sixth letter in a row.
01:07 He submitted it to the government to explain the reason and necessity
01:11 to request the government to announce the importation of yellow crab immediately.
01:17 As mentioned, Thailand imports almost 3 million tons of yellow crab
01:23 for animal feed.
01:25 The production of yellow crab in Thailand is only 2-30,000 tons.
01:29 It has been protected by the Association of Agriculturalists
01:32 and has been purchased 100% of the yellow crab.
01:35 The purchase from the oil and vegetable industry
01:38 is also not a reason for the government to delay the importation of yellow crab.
01:45 This is a very bad situation.
01:47 I would like to warn the government to take this situation into consideration
01:50 on December 26,
01:52 which is the last meeting of this year.
01:56 I would like to ask for a resolution to limit the damage
02:00 while there is a process of announcement
02:02 except for the Ministry of Environment
02:04 which is following one step at a time.
02:07 I would like to ask the government to rush to announce the announcement
02:11 to limit the damage as much as possible
02:16 including the cost of living and the damage to the production of animal feed.
02:21 If the government stops the importation of yellow crab
02:23 because there is no raw material in the production,
02:25 it will affect the consumers of animal meat in Thailand
02:28 and affect the export value of chicken and shrimp
02:32 which has a total business value of more than 1 million baht.
02:38 If the government delays the importation, it will cause damage.
02:41 The government will have to issue a call for compensation.
02:45 This is a loss that has no benefit at all.
02:49 So, if tomorrow doesn't come out,
02:51 we still can't see what will happen in the future.
02:56 The government has not sent a signal to explain the reason.
02:59 I would like to confirm that the call is not only affecting the animal feed factory,
03:06 but also the farmers, both pigs, chickens, and the livestock industry.
03:10 The investment will be continued as a chain
03:14 with the missing amount.
03:16 I would like to confirm again that the Ministry of Environment
03:19 will have a call tomorrow to issue a permit
03:22 to import yellow crab along with the tax payment.
03:27 On behalf of the secretary of the Thai Animal Food Production Association,
03:31 Mr. Somphot Aue Songthamrabu, on Tuesday, January 3, 2017,
03:37 the first ship to import yellow crab to Thailand was launched.
03:41 Throughout January, there were 4 more ships to import yellow crab,
03:46 a total of 2.1 million tons.
03:51 This will cause damage if the yellow crab is not imported in time.
03:56 Let's see what the consequences will be.
03:58 First, the ship that imports the yellow crab to Thailand
04:02 cannot import the product.
04:05 The cost of shipping will increase by 200,000 baht per ship.
04:10 In January, there were 4 ships to ship.
04:13 The total cost will be 1 million baht per day.
04:16 This will be counted every day until the government announces the cost.
04:19 Second, the cost of shipping will be lost
04:21 in the case of the empty flower garden.
04:23 In the case of the announcement of the tax exemption,
04:25 the Ministry of Environment will be delayed.
04:27 In January, there were 2.1 million tons of yellow crab.
04:33 The cost will be 4,200 million baht.
04:36 The tax exemption will be 336 million baht.
04:42 The price of the empty flower garden will be 1.68 million baht per month.
04:45 The time limit for the 6-month tax exemption
04:48 is 10 million baht.
