Deputy Prime Minister Visits Moc Market at Udon Thani Airport to Boost Local Goods

On November 2, 2026, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce Supamas Isarabhakdi, accompanied by Ministry of Commerce Permanent Secretary Poonpong Naiyanapakorn, visited the Moc Market located at Udon Thani Airport. The visit took place during the mobile cabinet meeting held in the province. The primary objective of the visit was to inspect the market's operations and demonstrate support for local community products. By positioning these goods within the airport, the Ministry aims to create a direct link between local producers and the traveler market, thereby increasing revenue for community-based enterprises. For travelers and residents, this initiative highlights an ongoing effort to integrate regional crafts and products into major transit hubs, potentially offering more diverse shopping options while waiting for flights. While the visit underscores the government's commitment to local economic development, specific details regarding the long-term expansion of the Moc Market model to other regional airports remain to be confirmed by the Ministry of Commerce. The initiative reflects a broader strategy to leverage tourism infrastructure to support grassroots economic growth.
