Thailand's Commerce Ministry and Transport Ministry launched a one-year program (September 2026–August 2027) in partnership with seven airlines to allow passengers to check up to 10kg of fresh fruit free-of-charge across 20 provincial airports nationwide. The initiative aims to boost fruit exports (targeting 1,000+ tons through 100,000 standardized boxes), connect agricultural production with tourism, and promote Thai tropical fruits as a travel landmark. Key fruits entering market include mangosteen, longan, salak, and dragon fruit. The program also addresses logistics challenges: mangosteen exports faced recent headwinds due to flooding in the Bo Kaen–Mohan transport corridor through Laos (handling 65% of Thai mangosteen to China), and gateways are exploring alternative rail and Mekong River routes to mitigate delays.
