Authorities in Thailand are cracking down on the hoarding of frozen pork meat amid shortages that have helped trigger the doubling of prices.
Over the past week, Thai police have raided two cold-storage facilities, in Songkhla and Chanthaburi provinces, each holding more than 200,000 kilograms of pork, the government said. Another warehouse near Bangkok was also found to be hoarding more than 5,000 kilogram of meat.
