Thai Food Companies Invited to Apply for Good Farm Animal Welfare Awards 2026
Thai food companies can now apply for the Good Farm Animal Welfare Awards 2026, which recognizes businesses improving farm animal welfare through clear policies and measurable progress, with applications due July 3.
Thai food companies have been invited to apply for the Good Farm Animal Welfare Awards (GFAWA) 2026 following Compassion in World Farming's (CIWF) official announcement this year. The award recognizes companies committed to improving farm animal welfare through clear policies, measurable progress, and transparent reporting. Applications are accepted in three categories: Good Egg, Good Chicken, and Sow Stall Free, with a deadline of July 3, 2026. The awards ceremony will be held on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, in Brussels, Belgium.
Thailand Advances Farm Animal Welfare Standards
The momentum for welfare-conscious production is growing steadily in Thailand, with companies increasingly aligning with international standards, particularly in cage-free eggs and broiler chicken welfare improvements.
Thailand's progress has been notable, with Hilltribe Organics becoming the first Thai company to receive the Good Egg Award in 2014, recognized for their commitment to cage-free egg production. In 2023, Klong Phai Farm became the first Thai company to win the Good Chicken Award, demonstrating leadership in adopting higher animal welfare practices.
In 2024, Thai award recipients included Tan-Khun Organic Farm, which won the Good Egg Award; Klong Phai Farm, which received both the Good Egg Award and Good Turkey Award; and KPS Farm. KPS Farm became Thailand's first recipient of the Sow Stall Free Award, transitioning from individual stalls to group housing systems—a practice still relatively uncommon in Asia.
"At KPS, we focus on three areas: pigs, people, and the planet," said Arinruda Chankesem, Managing Director of KPS Farm. "Every life is family to us in what we call home. We're committed to continuously improving farm standards for the welfare, happiness, and safety of all lives on our farm, and we believe every element must grow sustainably together."
