The Industry Ministry is pushing ahead with plans to promote key industries, including food processing and electric vehicles (EVs), to strengthen manufacturing and follow the bio-, circular and green (BCG) economic model.
BCG, which is aimed at encouraging manufacturers to adopt techniques that can add value to products and have no or minimal impact on the environment, is the government's national agenda.
In the agricultural sector, authorities want to help farmers develop their farming in order to add value to their products, said Siripen Kiatfuengfoo, deputy director-general of the Office of Industrial Economics (OIE).
