PHUKET TOWN: The “One Tambon, One Product” project has earned 87 million baht for Phuket in eight months, a provincial community forum was told yesterday. Suthep Wuthisak, of the Phuket Provincial Development Office, told 80 representatives from government and private industry, including local shops and department stores, that it was important for suppliers and dealers to get together. More products would be developed if the community dealt with marketing properly, he said. “In the past eight months, we have earned more than 87 million baht from the project and we hope to make more than 100 million baht by the end of the year,” K. Suthep told the gathering at the Thavorn Grand Hotel. The focus is now on establishing a distribution center and proper packaging.
