Establishment

Background The Thai Tapioca Starch Association

         Initiated by a group of tapioca starch manufacturers, the Thai Tapioca Starch Association (TTSA) was established with the main objective to serve tapioca starch manufacturers as a coordination center that promotes and supports marketing and technologies of tapioca starch industry, which benefits the country’s economy. Those three important persons representing as initiators of the Association establishment are listed as follow:

  1. Mr. Boonthong Suntikarn
  2. Mr. Chairoj Pittayathikhun
  3. Mr. Suchart Tangsongcharoen

    On April 30, 1976 the Association was granted the esblishment in compliance with the Section 10 of Trade Association Act B.E. 2509 according to registration no.106/1976.

    The office of TTSA was firstly situated at the 9th floor of the Thaniya Building, 62 Silom Road, Bangrak, Bangkok. Later, it was moved to Kiatnakin Building, 78 Captain Bush Lane, Charoenkrung Road, Siphya, Bangkok. In 1982 it was relocated on the 4th floor of the B.I.S. Building, 119 Mahaesak Road, Bangrak, Bangkok; and was moved again to the 4th floor of the Phanthip Plaza Building, Rooms 420-421, 640/3 Petchburi Road, Phyathai, Bangkok. At present, the office is on the 7th of the L.P.N. Tower, Chongnonsee, Yannawa, Bangkok 10120.

Causes of TTSA Establishment

    During the period from 1974-1975, there was a total increase of fifty-two tapioca starch. On the season of production from October to March most of these factories would always encounter lack of revolving fund required for tapioca roots purchase. Given the lack of the revolving fund, there was no alternative for tapioca starch manufacturers but to make a swift sell of their products. The situation mainly caused the decline in tapioca starch price due to the fact that exporters and foreign traders grabbed the chance to underprice at tapioca starch manufacturers got into difficulty with the low price and remaining stocks of tapioca starch. As a result, the Thai Tapioca Starch Association was then founded with the aim of guaranteeing the lowest price of tapioca starch to survive the industrialists and to raise wages for workers and better the price of tapioca roots for planters. Currently, there have been approximately 73 ordinary members, 62 associate members and 2 honorary members.
