CPF Showcases Food Innovations at THAIFEX – Anuga Asia 2026, Bringing Thai Expertise to Consumers Worldwide

Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Company Limited, or CPF, a leading global agro-industrial and food company, is strengthening Thailand’s potential as a regional hub for food innovation at THAIFEX–Anuga Asia 2026 under the theme “Food Innovation for Wellness.”

The theme reflects CPF’s commitment to developing food innovations through research and development, with a focus on nutrition, great taste, convenience and evolving consumer needs. CPF also aims to build strong strategic partnerships to deliver high-quality and sustainable food experiences to consumers around the world.

Prasit Boondoungprasert, Chief Executive Officer of CPF, said today’s consumers are looking for food that goes beyond great taste and safety. They also expect convenience, nutrition and responsible production.

“CPF is committed to continuously applying innovation across every stage of our production process to deliver better food experiences, support better quality of life and respond to the changing needs of consumers worldwide,” Mr. Prasit said.

At THAIFEX–Anuga Asia 2026, CPF is showcasing a diverse portfolio of ready-to-eat meals, premium protein products, convenience foods, and international award-winning menu innovations from CPF’s global brand portfolio. The company also highlights its achievement in elevating Thai chicken to meet stringent Space Food Safety Standards, reinforcing Thailand’s reputation as the Kitchen of the World.

Featured wellness products include Benja Chicken and Cheeva Pork, which apply innovation to promote animal health from within. The animals are fed with flaxseed and probiotics and are raised without antibiotics throughout the farming process. This results in naturally tender meat with key nutrients, including natural Omega-3, at up to 2.5 times higher than conventional products. 

Innovation for quality products

CPF continues to reinforce its strength in product innovation after winning recognition at the THAIFEX–ANUGA Taste Innovation Show for six consecutive years. This year, CPF presents CP Chicken Basil Rice Sausage, an innovative product inspired by Thailand’s No.1 street food favorite. The product brings together the aroma of holy basil, Thai-style spiciness and whole-grain rice in a convenient chicken sausage format that can be enjoyed anytime and anywhere.

The company is also showcasing international-market products under Authentic Asia and Kitchen Joy, bringing authentic Thai and Asian recipes into convenient ready-meal formats. These include Green Curry Chicken, Chicken Panang Curry, Tom Yum Chicken, Mala Shrimp Wonton and Laksa Shrimp Wonton, which are now available in more than 18 countries across Europe and the United States.

A key highlight is Kitchen Joy – Thai Cube, a well-known best-selling product among European consumers. Thai Cube captures the appeal of Thai cuisine through more than 20 flavours in a modern ready-meal format designed for easy enjoyment in just a few minutes.

CPF is also presenting products from CP Nippon, a new brand developed through the partnership between CPF and NH Foods Ltd. of Japan. Featured products include hamburg  and cheese gyoza, offering visitors a taste of Japanese-style ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat innovation.

Complete Solutions for Business Partners and Consumers

Guided by its “Kitchen of the World” vision, CPF is using THAIFEX–Anuga Asia 2026 as a platform to showcase a broad portfolio of ready-to-cook products, ready-to-eat meals, high-protein wellness products and Asian-inspired menus developed for global markets.

The company aims to strengthen collaboration with business partners and support new opportunities for the future food industry through flexible food innovations and solutions that respond to changing market needs.

Penpark Winery unveils next‑gen RTD spirits at THAIFEX 2026

Image credit: Minimeinsights.com

Thailand’s Penpark Winery Co., Ltd. showcased innovative RTD spirits for the next generation at THAIFEX – Anuga Asia 2026 including Mitr Satho/Ryuume and L-NERGY/L-NERGY Lite. As for Penpak Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., it is known for its herbal medicines and beverages including Penpark PharYaNak Herbal Drink.

L‑NERGY and L‑NERGY Lite deliver an energizing alcoholic option through the inclusion of guarana, a natural source of caffeine linked to alertness, stamina, and concentration. The original version carries a 7% ABV, while the lighter variant sits at 4% ABV — positioning guarana‑infused alcoholic drinks as a niche trend in Thailand. Keep an eye on alcoholic drinks in Thailand that are positioning themselves around energy benefits.

Mitr Satho carries a 7% ABV, while Ryuume, a Japanese‑inspired plum wine, also sits at 7% ABV.

Kimlan’s Kicap Boba goes bold with its name choice

Image credit: Minimeinsights.com

Kimlan, one of Taiwan’s leading soy sauce producers, has taken a bold approach to naming its kicap manis (sweet soy sauce), a staple in Indonesia. To differentiate on shelf, the company has unveled the halal‑certified KIM’AMA range under the name Kicap Boba to penetrate into the Southeast Asian market, particularly in Indonesia and Malaysia. The KIM’AMA Kicap Boba including the spicy variant were showcased at THAIFEX – Anuga Asia 2026.

According to Kimlan, the choice of ‘boba’ is intended to evoke the association with brown sugar syrup, a key ingredient in the trendy brown sugar boba drinks. Naming the sauce Kicap Boba may raise eyebrows and even risk being misleading, but it undeniably serves as a way to catch consumer attention. However, such messaging can easily be lost in translation, as many local consumers may not understand what this sauce actually is.

Effective localisation means speaking to consumers in ways that feel familiar and relevant, rather than distant or misleading.

Thai Coconut deepens push into functional coconut drinks, unveils Thai Coco for local market

Image credit: Minimeinsights.com

Thai Coconut Public Company Limited is tapping into two major beverage trends: natural hydration and sophisticated non‑alcoholic drinks. The company has embraced the natural hydration movement with the launch of Hydaily at THAIFEX – Anuga Asia 2026. This innovation uses coconut water as a substitute for traditional electrolyte drinks and is enhanced with L‑theanine (35 mg) to promote relaxation and focus, along with goji berry for natural eye health.

Unlike other coconut water‑based hydration drinks, Hydaily (350ml) contains 60% coconut water and delivers light, refreshing hydration with only 10kcal per 100ml. While its natural sweetness comes from coconut water, the drink also includes sucralose, a zero‑calorie artificial sweetener. Hydaily features a refreshing honey and yuzu flavour.

Thai Coconut also showcased two additional Hydaily concepts, though still at the prototype stage. One version features a functional blend of potassium (800 mg), BCAAs (1,000 mg), creatine monohydrate (2,000 mg), and vitamins B3 and B6 (providing over 15% of the Thai RDI) in a calamansi flavour.

The combination of BCAAs and creatine positions this Hydaily concept as a performance‑focused hydration drink, designed to support strength, endurance and recovery. BCAAs (branched‑chain amino acids: leucine, isoleucine, valine) are primarily used to support muscle recovery and reduce soreness, while creatine — a novel ingredient in functional beverages in Thailand — supports enhanced strength, power output and improved workout performance. We anticipate a wave of new creatine‑based beverage innovations emerging in Thailand in the near future.

The second concept highlights vision support as a functional benefit, featuring 10 mg of lutein and vitamin A in this coconut‑based hydration drink.

LOOC Sparkling Coconut Drink — presented as a concept

Alongside Hydaily, Thai Coconut introduced its LOOC brand of sugar‑free sparkling non‑alcoholic drinks in Strawberry Margarita and Mojito flavours, which remain at the concept stage and are not yet available in the market. LOOC represents Thai Coconut’s move into the sophisticated non‑alcoholic beverage space, formulated with coconut water as the core ingredient and enhanced with L‑theanine for relaxation, as well as ginseng for a gentle uplift.

Launch of Thai Coco in the domestic market

Image credit: Thai Coco

As an exporter of Thai coconut products to over 100 countries worldwide, Thai Coco has announced its first foray into the domestic market with the launch of its flagship brand — Thai Coco 100% organic fragrant coconut water — now available at 7‑Eleven. The company believes that success in Thailand would mark an important milestone, paving the way for future expansion into the wider Asian market.

DITP Showcases “Food Arcade” to Explore the Future of Food, Highlighting Medical Food and Personalised Food Trends for the New Health-Conscious Era at THAIFEX – ANUGA ASIA 2026

The growing trend of preventive healthcare and personalised nutrition is rapidly reshaping consumer behaviour worldwide, driving strong demand for Medical Food and Personalised Food products. These categories are emerging as key trends within the Future Food industry, attracting increasing interest from consumers, entrepreneurs, and investors around the globe.

In response to this growing demand, the Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP), Ministry of Commerce, is continuing to promote Thailand’s future food industry through the “Thai Future Food Product Promotion Exhibition” under the concept of “Food Arcade”. The exhibition aims to showcase Thailand’s potential as a producer of high-quality future food products that meet international export standards, while also encouraging greater awareness and consumption of future food products among both Thai and international consumers. The exhibition will take place at the front hall of Challenger 2, IMPACT Muang Thong Thani, during THAIFEX – ANUGA ASIA 2026 from 26–29 May 2026.

The exhibition will introduce visitors to Thailand’s future food innovations, particularly Medical Food and Personalised Food products from more than 70 Thai entrepreneurs, which are recognised for their high nutritional value and carefully selected nutrients tailored to the specific needs of different consumer groups.

Within the Medical Food category, visitors will discover food and beverage products specially developed for patients to help manage symptoms, reduce complications, and support medical treatment processes. These products are formulated with nutritional components designed to address specific health conditions, particularly non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as kidney disease, diabetes, hypertension, and stroke, helping consumers maintain appropriate sodium, sugar, and fat levels.

Meanwhile, the Personalised Food category will showcase food and beverage products specifically designed to suit individual characteristics and nutritional requirements. Product development takes into account factors such as health conditions, lifestyle behaviour, genetics, body responses, and age-specific nutritional needs for groups including infants, young children, older adults, athletes, and individuals with metabolic disorders, ensuring consumers receive nutrition tailored to their unique needs.

Visitors will also have opportunities to participate in interactive activities designed to enhance understanding of future food concepts in both Medical Food and Personalised Food categories. Highlights include special tasting sessions featuring high-nutrition menu creations specially developed for the exhibition by Sai Sai, a renowned dessert café in Bangkok’s Phra Nakhon district. The tasting sessions will be held three times daily at 12:00 hrs, 13:30 hrs, and 15:00 hrs, with five seats available per session.

The event is jointly organised by the Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP), Ministry of Commerce, the Thai Chamber of Commerce, and Koelnmesse. Trade days will be held from 26–29 May 2026, while the trade and public day with retail sales for general visitors will take place on 30 May 2026 from 10:00–18:00 hrs at IMPACT Challenger Halls 1–3, IMPACT Forum Hall 4, and IMPACT Exhibition Centre Halls 5–12.
