Thai Silk Promotion Event Held to Boost Local Trade
The Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives launched the third 'Mobile Mulberry and Silk' event to promote Thai silk identity and connect producers directly with consumers.
On October 22, 2026, Theerachai Saenkaew, advisor to the Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives, presided over the opening of the third 'Mobile Mulberry and Silk' event. According to Matichon Online, the initiative is designed to highlight the unique identity of Thai silk products while expanding commercial opportunities for local artisans.
For residents and travelers, this event serves as a platform to engage directly with silk producers, offering a chance to purchase authentic goods while supporting local craftsmanship. By bridging the gap between the source and the consumer, the government aims to strengthen the economic viability of the silk industry.
While the event focuses on immediate trade opportunities, it remains to be confirmed how these mobile initiatives will impact long-term market access for rural silk weavers. Visitors interested in traditional textiles may find these events useful for discovering regional varieties that are not always available in mainstream retail outlets. Further details regarding the schedule of future 'Mobile Mulberry and Silk' locations have not yet been announced by the Ministry.
