Club chairman Pichit Maipoom said the goal was to boost the the value of the country's ceramic exports to more than 25,000m. baht by 2007. Thailand now generates about 20,000m. baht from the export of ceramics each year. Key products include crockery, wall and floor tiles and sanitary units. Combined production of wall and floor tiles last year was 157m. sq. metres while the aggregate demand was only 114m. sq .metres.
