Department of Cooperative Promotion Launches Red Onion Caravan to Distribute Produce and Combat Low Prices

The Department of Cooperative Promotion launched a red onion caravan from Si Sa Ket to distribute produce to the Northern region under the campaign 'Love... Therefore, Fragrant'. Nirund Multhida, Director-General of the Department of Cooperative Promotion, led the ceremony at the Northern Agricultural Product Center in Chiang Mai Province. The campaign aims to quickly distribute Si Sa Ket red onions from production areas to alleviate farmers' financial difficulties. The initiative has received strong cooperation from cooperative networks nationwide, including government and private sector organizations supporting large-scale purchases to absorb production and stabilize prices. Since the campaign's launch on January 20th, the department has helped distribute approximately 230 tons of red onions, valued at over 10 million baht, across 76 provinces including Southern, Northern, Central, and Eastern regions.
