On June 21, Anukul Pruksanusak, Deputy Spokesperson for the Office of the Prime Minister, announced that the Ministry of Commerce, through the Department of Internal Trade, is proactively addressing the border trade disruption—particularly Cambodia’s delay in importing Thai fruits—which could lead to falling prices and oversupply.
In response, the government has partnered with Thailand Post to provide free nationwide fruit delivery to assist farmers. The initiative focuses on distributing key Thai fruits such as durian, mangosteen, longan, langsat, rambutan, and mango, with a target of at least 3,000 tons sold through increasingly popular online platforms. This allows farmers to directly reach consumers with convenience and speed.
The Department has prepared packaging support including 188,000 ten-kilogram “DIT” boxes and 50,000 five-kilogram baskets—totaling 238,000 units—which will be distributed to provincial commerce offices nationwide. Farmers can access these resources free of charge to help reduce overall distribution costs.
Additionally, in July, the Department will launch the “Thai Fruits Festival 2025” featuring seasonal fruits from the north and south—such as durian, mangosteen, rambutan, langsat, salacca, champada, longan, lychee, and oranges. The event will showcase and sell produce in modern formats to boost consumption and expand sustainable market access.
Anukul emphasized that this collaboration with Thailand Post ensures quick, safe, and widespread delivery—particularly suited to the current demand for online fruit orders and gifts. The government is committed to supporting farmers not just in the short term but also through systemic strategies that enhance long-term income and agricultural resilience.
