Nonthaburi, The Minister of Transport prepares to find ways to increase the distribution channels for agricultural products through gas stations. Hoping to help reduce the amount of oversupply in the market and make it easily accessible to consumers. Ready to use more than 30 Chinese influencers with 200-300 million followers to help promote Thai products in the Chinese market, confident that Thai GI products can really add value. Mr. Phumtham Wechayachai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce, said: The Ministry of Commerce and related agencies are adjusting the guidelines for helping distribute agricultural products to have sales channels that reach directly into the hands of consumers. This will focus on the drainage of agricultural products using new methods, such as through gas stations. It is the management of agricultural products during the period when large quantities begin to enter the market so that the purchase price will not be depressed like in the past. Various forms are being prepar ed in order to be discussed with the private sector further. In addition, the Ministry of Commerce has an idea to use about 30 Chinese influencers with 200-300 million followers to help sell Thai products, including Y series, which will be a tool to help. Selling Thai products is another channel. Including the trip to China, we talked with an oil trading company that has 30,000 service stations and 20,000 minimarts and offered to help distribute Thai products. And last week, the group visited the United States and had the opportunity to eat at a Thai restaurant. 27 influencers were brought in to create Thai food content. And if this group of people is brought in to distribute Thai food content, it is believed that people in the United States will have an increased demand for Thai food products as well. For intellectual property matters The Ministry of Commerce views that The starting point for high-value trade lies in intellectual property. Connect with various parts of knowledge and have GI products. (Geo graphical Indication) which has now been registered for more than 130 agricultural products such as Jasmine rice (Chiang Rai), Monthong durian (Chanthaburi), Doi Chang coffee (Chiang Rai), aromatic coconuts (Prachuap Khiri Khan), volcanic mineral water (Loei), and pla ra (Khon Kaen), etc. will make trading with the new world order more efficient. Use the country's resources to manage them well. The government encourages and supports this to happen. The private sector is the vanguard of opening the market. If done in a complete manner, it will step into the creation of high value products. Source: Thai News Agency
