Thailand's ready-to-eat rice market is valued at 36.2 billion baht with steady 4–5% annual growth, driven by rising living costs and consumer demand for convenience and value. CP Ram is capitalizing on this opportunity by launching 'Jade Dragon' to capture the mass market segment while repositioning 'Jade Dragon' (existing brand) upmarket. The company addresses cost pressures through supply-chain efficiency and selective cost-cutting that preserves product quality rather than raising retail prices—a strategic move relevant to food entrepreneurs navigating inflationary pressure.
