Ms. Surawan Wongfak, owner of Phum Nai Gourami Shop Chachoengsao Province said During the lightening of the COVID problem like this It is considered that small shop operators will come out to market. The gourami products received by the shop are GI products. It is considered a product that has been accepted by government agencies and has always taken care of good product quality. Which during the time of the COVID epidemic in Thailand, everything could not be sold, so it was changed to online sales and was needed by customers who had to stay at home. But lately, there have been imitations that sell gourami products that are not up to standard and cut prices among themselves. Until causing customers who ordered online to not dare to order to consume
However, during the COVID epidemic that turned to online business, the purchase amount per day exceeded 1 ton or more, but after the COVID subsided, only 200 kilograms were sold per day. Which, if chosen, does not want to have Covid to be born again, although selling a lot of gourami products, but there is a problem of imitation of the product is not good. and what they want in the help of the new government find measures to encourage grass roots to have more jobs and more money Because even though COVID is better But the country’s economy has been deteriorating for a long time. therefore would like the new government to help make the Thai economy recover as soon as possible and hope very much as well

Due to the recent COVID-19 problems, the sales of clothing products made by the community craftsmanship were very low. But after the COVID faded, the group’s clothing sales began to sell better. And from the measures of the government, especially the Department of Intellectual Property, allowing the group to come out to the show and sell their products reasonably well, so what I want the new government to come to manage the country Must speed up the recovery of the country’s economy to come back better And see that the products of the group that are truly produced by the people in the community should be encouraged to be able to sell more abroad. Because Thai clothing products are not allergic to anyone in the world. If it receives good and continuous support from the government
