The Cooperative Promotion Department plans about 500m baht in low-interest (1-3%) funds for FY2027 to expand cooperative CDC distribution centres, which can cover buildings, cold trucks and forklifts. It is also negotiating special freight rates with the Thai land transport association for cooperative produce, especially seasonal fruit. CDC sales reached 3,130m baht through September 2026 with a target of 5,000m by December. For a Thai SME that sells through or alongside cooperatives, or ships fruit and rice, this could mean cheaper logistics and a new channel. Details, eligibility and the MOU are not yet final.
