Abstract

Factors Related to Registration for General Food Product According to Primary GMP of One Tambon One Product Traders in The Eastern Provinces of Thailand

This research aimed to determine factors related to registration for general food product according to primary Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) of One Tambon One Product (OTOP) traders in the eastern provinces. A developed questionnaire was sent to government officers in four eastern provincial public health offices. The government officers distributed the questionnaire to 225 OTOP. The response rate of the sample was 90.2%. Data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. Results Found that registration for primary GMP was statistically significant associated with the types of product (p=0.027), the average income per month of OTOP (p=0.001), the operation period (p=0.006), OTOP operation factors (4M), the services of provincial public health officer factors (4 P’s) and the response of customer to products (4 P’s). Therefore the strategy may also help encourage legal action such as modification of government services, supporting financial resources accessibility and income producing, and developing of consumers’ understanding in food quality system. In addition, related organizations should help OTOP traders to follow the rules of law in order to develop the quality of Thai food in the global community.
