Thailand’s retail prices for cattle meat have risen by over 50% between 2000 and 2013 Figure 6), reflecting the strong underlying demand growth.

The beef price increases conforms to regional and international trends, which suggest an integrated cross-border beef market. The prices of chicken and pork also increased, however at lower rates than the beef price (Figure 6).
