Food producers diversify amid climate risks

Ms Chanikarn says Sweet Bee Farm has developed new products to appeal to Gen Z consumers and office workers as it seeks to broaden its customer base among younger generations.

Snack and food producers are prepared for unfavourable climate conditions this year, which are expected to affect agricultural produce.

Apirak Kosayodhin, chief executive of Lanna Agriculture Industry Co Ltd, a manufacturer and exporter of edamame (green soybean) and ready-to-eat meals, said that if an El Niño event occurs in Thailand this year, it will definitely affect agricultural production, though the severity will depend on the type of produce.
