cheese costs

[bratpack]

May be in a position to get some fresh home made cheddar cheese but need to know how much would the average punter pay for this high quality,non frozen cheese.

 

If i said there would be a posibility to sell it at 250-275 baht for half kilo would there be interest

Even half-decent, mostly tasteless cheddar rot (not mentioning any countries because New Zealanders are sensitive folk) is hellishly expensive because of import duty. I think a GOOD cheddar would fly off the shelves at that price.

Out of interest Joe why would the import duty be so high on cheese ??

 

Is it because of a lack of milking cows in Thailand ??

All imports into Thailand have a high duty. There are milk cows in Thailand, there is no shortage of milk. I have no idea why they don't make cheese here.

Will be double checking the quality so will let you guys know asap,but sounds good to me.

Small market, most Thais think it is disgusting.

Having purchased a wee piece from Carrefour recently I find 275 baht/Lb very attractive.

Welsh rabbit anyone?

I'll buy decent cheddar off you for 275b 1/2 kg for sure.

I know from here in the states that the Norwegians pay a lot for access to their Brown Cheese, Brunost...

It runs about 2-3x the cost of good Wisconsin/Tilamook Cheddar.

Chivas nailed it. Thailand is a food EXporter, and many decades ago set these high tariffs (typical: 600 per cent) on "luxury" food imports like apples, corn flakes and cheese. They have S-L-O-W-L-Y and A-G-O-N-I-S-I-N-G-L-Y gone down, bit by bit, but it's done item by item (apples are "cheap") and cheese is still on the max-luxury list.

 

I think there's enough market to make a small cheese-making operation viable but I'm no businessman. Since no one has done it, I guess there's a reason or three.

There is a few Farangs out here making cheese on a commercial basis.

That's one reason I like Thai food - no chance of it being infected with the stuff.
