New Logistics Partnership Launches Longkong Fruit Distribution from Uttaradit to Bangkok

According to a report by Thai Post on October 9, 2026, the Department of Cooperative Promotion has initiated a pilot logistics project aimed at streamlining the distribution of agricultural produce. By collaborating with The Transport Co., Ltd., the Agricultural Cooperative Federation of Thailand, and the Cooperative League of Thailand, the initiative successfully transported 600 kilograms of Longkong—a renowned fruit from Uttaradit province—directly to consumers in Bangkok.

This project follows a previously signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Department of Cooperative Promotion and The Transport Co., Ltd. The pilot program utilized the Laplae Agricultural Cooperative distribution center as the primary hub for the shipment.

For residents and travelers, this development highlights an effort to improve the supply chain for seasonal Thai fruits, potentially increasing the availability of fresh regional produce in the capital. While this initial shipment serves as a proof-of-concept, it remains to be confirmed how this partnership will scale in the future and whether it will expand to include other agricultural products or different regions of Thailand. The initiative represents a strategic move to connect rural cooperatives with urban markets through established state-run transport infrastructure.
