Thai food processors were aware of profits of collaboration in order to enhance the quality of delicatessen food and to exchange information in terms of production and marketing. Thus, they agreed to establish Thai Food Processors Association (TFPA). The first ordinary meeting was held on 21st November 1970. After establishing the association, tuna processing company became one of the members in TFPA until the ministry of commerce introduced measure for the organization of export outside the kingdom (No. 30) on 30th January 1985. It has become effective since 11th February 1985 onwards. Therefore, canned tuna processing group was founded under TFPA’s name on 15th February 1985 in order to provide flexibility in the implementation of various activities which directly benefit the manufacturers of canned tuna.
