Amparwon Pichalai, the vice director-general of the DITP, announced the government’s plan to improve Thai logistics in collaboration with the Thai Chamber of Commerce, the Federation of Thai Industry, Charoen Pokphand Foods PCL and Toyota this month.

The DITP’s AEC Blueprint strategy aims at improving the country’s logistics sector in order for it to compete internationally.

“The cost of logistics is an obstacle to trading,” said Pichalai, “Since 2007, Thailand’s logistic cost has decreased from 19percent to 14 percent, however in developed countries the cost is less than 10 percent.”
