Thailand: Union Frozen Products to become integrated food producer
In a bid to drive sales to 15 billion baht by 2015, as an integrated food manufacturer, producing the whole gamut of foods from vegetables, frozen foods and seafood products to ready-to-eat products, under its Pranpai brand, is the way to go, says Anurat Khokasai, Union Frozen Products (UFP) chief operating officer, anticipating a growth rate of 10-15% annually.
The UFP goal, he says, is to seek foreign strategic alliances in the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Russia. “We hope to export our products to these three targeted markets by next year or the next three years.
