But unfortunately we fall into the trap of competing in the global market by trying to follow the rules set by others and striving for things that are not to our competitive advantage. What our organization realizes is that we must highlight the unique properties of Thai herbs to emphasize on our expertise, deep scientific knowledge and together with our creativity to deliver competitiveness in our offerings” Dr. Panvipa concluded.
