DITP Promotes Thai Food Quality Through Thai SELECT Certification
The Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP) is intensifying efforts to certify Thai food products to boost global market confidence.
According to a report by Matichon Online on August 21, 2026, the Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP) is actively advancing its initiative to select and certify high-quality Thai food products for the international market. The core of this strategy involves the 'Thai SELECT' certification, a mark designed to establish and maintain consumer confidence in the quality and authenticity of Thai exports.
For residents and travelers, this initiative is significant as it aims to standardize the quality of Thai food available globally. By promoting products that carry the Thai SELECT label, the DITP seeks to ensure that international consumers receive an authentic culinary experience that meets rigorous standards. This effort is part of a broader push to strengthen the reputation of Thai cuisine on the world stage.
While the DITP has confirmed its commitment to this selection process, specific details regarding the expansion of the program to new regions or the inclusion of additional product categories remain to be confirmed. Observers should monitor official DITP announcements for updates on how these certification standards might influence the availability of premium Thai food products in their local markets.
