Under Thailand Food Valley, the first four-year phase will designate proper areas in each region and will develop networks of food industry entrepreneurs as well as to develop production system up to international standard.

         Education Institutes and entrepreneurs will work together to create databases for integrated development and cooperation. Thailand Food Valley is a proactive approach of Thai food industries to penetrate the ASEAN market.
