Thai-Cambodia conflict could trigger global tuna pet food shortages

MOSCOW: The escalating tensions between Thailand and Cambodia could cause a serious shortage of canned tuna due to Thailand's dominant position in this market, according to RIA Novosti's analysis of Thai Tuna Industry Association data.

In 2023, global exports of canned tuna totalled 1.6 million tonnes, with Thailand accounting for a dominant 28 per cent of that volume.
