BANGKOK (The Nation/ANN): Exporters are closely watching the US-China trade dispute after the two giants reached a phase 1 agreement, with Thai products having to now compete with US goods for Chinese market share.

Under the agreement between Washington and Beijing, China will buy US products amounting to not less than US$200 billion (6 trillion baht) within two years, the items being oil seeds, beef, pork, chicken, seafood, and animal feed. This is expected to have an impact on Thai agricultural exports.
