BOI cold-chain logistics promotion — approved investments
~THB 2–4B approved annually
The Board of Investment classifies cold-chain logistics infrastructure under Activity Category 7.5 (logistics services), which qualifies for corporate income-tax exemption of 3–8 years depending on location and technology tier. Annual BOI approvals in cold-chain-specific categories (cold storage, reefer fleet, blast-freeze facilities) total approximately THB 2–4 billion, with the EEC provinces of Chonburi, Rayong, and Chachoengsao attracting the highest share of approved investment due to proximity to Laem Chabang Port and the food-processing industrial cluster. The incentive scheme has driven upgrades toward automated storage-and-retrieval systems (ASRS) for temperature-controlled warehouses, reducing labour cost per pallet handled. BOI tracks approved-investment data by activity type in its annual statistics publication.
