JSP Launches E-Beam Sterilization to Boost Thai Exports
The user wants a short summary of the article about JSP launching E-Beam sterilization service in Thailand. Let me identify the key points: 1. JSP Pharmaceutical Industrial Group launched high-energy electron beam (E-Beam) sterilization ser
JSP Pharmaceutical Industrial Group chairman Sittichai Daengprasert announced the launch of a high-energy electron beam (E-Beam) service up to 10 MeV to support industries that need to upgrade safety standards and reduce contamination before expanding domestically and abroad. E-Beam technology is a non-thermal, chemical-residue-free process that controls mold, yeast, and microorganisms while extending product shelf life. It covers human food, animal feed, herbs, cannabis, kratom, dietary supplements, and medical devices. "Rising standards and pesticide residue restrictions in the EU and US will increase cost and production pressure on Thai exporters. E-Beam offers a way to lower standard-related hurdles and reduce non-tariff trade barriers, especially for food, herbs, supplements, and processed agricultural products," Sittichai said. The service also enhances competitiveness for SMEs targeting international markets, supports the livestock sector's shift toward reduced antibiotic use, and adds value to Thai herbal products. Having domestic E-Beam capacity reduces reliance on foreign providers and strengthens Thai producers' long-term competitiveness. However, operators unable to adapt their processes to international safety standards may face higher inspection costs and export risks, while investment in E-Beam technology provides more product-management options and eases non-tariff trade barriers.
