27 Jul 2020 --- In the first half of this year, up to ฿5.84 billion (US$184 million) worth of investment applications were filed for Thailand’s local food sector, according to the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI). The BOI underscores this as indicative of the nation’s ongoing recovery from COVID-19-related strains. The new string of investments comprises a focus on manufacturing health-oriented NPD, such as alternative meat products, plant-based proteins as well as longer shelf life and frozen products, which are seeing a spike in purchases amid the pandemic.
