Department of Industrial Promotion (DIP) (January 2015-October 2015)

In order to create a more dynamic agri-business value chain in Thailand, the Department of Industrial Promotion (DIP) joined Kenan to conduct a research study on the field’s potential and provide network building services.

Kenan analyzed five agro-based industries and products, including: palm oil, cosmetics, cassava, herbs, and organic farming. Based on the findings, Kenan recommended methods for improving upstream supply chain practices and building a better agro-processing cluster. The project worked with 200 agri-business officials and owners, who attended Kenan’s seminars and workshops on network formation. In addition, Kenan published a final research paper and distributed it to over 500 stakeholders.
