曼谷：泰国商务部官员周二（10月6日）表示，泰国已要求公司在2026年12月之前将鸡蛋出口量削减30%至50%，因为洪灾影响了供应，导致大量母鸡死亡。
BANGKOK: Thailand has asked companies to cut egg exports by 30 per cent to 50 per cent until December 2026, with supplies hit by heavy flooding, which killed a significant number of hens, a commerce ministry official said on Tuesday (Oct 6).
位于曼谷东部约两小时的查彩府省洪灾受影响的养鸡场中，约有300万只母鸡死亡，泰国内贸部副部长吉拉乌特·苏万纳尔说。
In the flood-hit egg farms in the area of Chachoengsao province, about two hours east of the capital Bangkok, about 3 million hens were killed, said Jirawuth Suwanna-arj, deputy director-general of the Department of Internal Trade.
该部门正在紧急调查未受影响的地区，以从那里采购鸡蛋分发给零售商。吉拉乌特还表示，该部门正在与其他机构合作，将产蛋母鸡的生命周期从80周延长到85周，以维持鸡蛋供应。
The department is urgently surveying unaffected areas to source eggs for distribution to retailers. It is also working with other agencies to extend the lifespan of laying hens from 80 weeks to 85 weeks to maintain egg supplies, Jirawuth said.
自9月16日以来，包括曼谷在内的51个省份发生洪灾，造成31人死亡，据内政部统计。
Since Sep 16, there has been flooding in 51 provinces including Bangkok with 31 people killed, according to the Interior Ministry.
上个月晚些时候，曼谷宣布为灾区后，该市在三天内收到320毫米的降雨，相当于整个9月的降雨量。
Bangkok was declared a disaster-affected zone late last month after receiving 320mm of rain over three days, as much as it typically receives in all of September.
吉拉乌特补充说，该部门已要求鸡蛋生产商协会和主要农场维持农场门市价为每枚4铢（0.12美元）。
The department has asked the Egg Producers Association and major farms to maintain the farm-gate price at 4 baht (US$0.12) per egg, Jirawuth added.
他还要求鸡蛋收购商从未受影响的地区采购鸡蛋并分发给零售商，同时合作维持价格。
He has also asked egg collectors to source eggs from unaffected areas and distribute them to retailers, while cooperating on maintaining prices.
据农业部数据，去年泰国出口了17亿铢（5046万美元）的鸡蛋，主要出口到新加坡，占总出口的79%，而香港占9%。
Last year, Thailand exported 1.7 billion baht (US$50.46 million) worth of eggs, mostly to Singapore, which accounted for 79 per cent of the total, with Hong Kong receiving 9 per cent, according to agriculture ministry data.
天气局表示，从10月9日到10月13日，包括曼谷及其郊区的泰国东部和中部地区，以及部分南部地区，预计将出现降雨增加的情况，有些地方可能有大雨。
From Oct 9 to Oct 13, Thailand's eastern and central regions, including Bangkok and its suburbs, as well as parts of the south, are expected to experience an increase in rainfall, with heavy rain in some places, according to the weather agency.
