Department of Cooperative Promotion Invests 500 Million Baht to Upgrade CDC
The Department of Cooperative Promotion is allocating 500 million baht to transform the Cooperative Distribution Center (CDC) into a regional hub, aiming for 5 billion baht in sales by the end of 2026.
According to a report by Matichon Online, the Department of Cooperative Promotion (CPD) has announced a strategic investment of over 500 million baht for the 2027 fiscal year. The initiative aims to upgrade the Cooperative Distribution Center (CDC) into a major regional logistics and distribution hub.
Director-General Niran stated that this project is designed to modernize the cooperative supply chain, enhancing efficiency and market reach. The department has set an ambitious target to increase total sales volume to 5 billion baht by the end of 2026.
For residents and business owners in Thailand, this development may signal improvements in the availability and distribution of local cooperative products, potentially stabilizing prices and supporting regional agricultural sectors. The initiative reflects a broader government effort to strengthen the cooperative economy through infrastructure investment.
While the funding and the sales targets have been publicly announced, several details remain to be confirmed. Specifically, the public is awaiting further information regarding the specific locations that will benefit from the regional hub status and the timeline for the rollout of these infrastructure upgrades. Stakeholders should monitor official government announcements for updates on how these changes might impact local supply chains and market accessibility in their respective provinces.
