ส.อ.ท. ผนึกกรมบัญชีกลาง เดินหน้า "MiT Plus" ตั้งเป้ายอดจัดซื้อจัดจ้างสินค้าไทยแตะ 2 แสนล้านบาท ยกระดับระบบ API และ AI สกัดการปลอมแปลงใบรับรองสินค้าFTI Collaborates with the Comptroller General's Department to Advance 'MiT Plus,' Aiming for a Thailand Product Procurement Value of 200 Billion Baht While Upgrading API and AI Systems to Combat Certificate Forgery

On June 17, 2026, Ms. Kanit Muangkrajang, Vice President of the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) and Chairperson of the Industry Standards and Competitiveness Development Division, along with Dr. Narun Sirisantana, Secretary of the Division, met with Ms. Patricia Mongkolwanich, Director-General of the Comptroller General's Department, together with Ms. Sutthisa Jarumetawat, Deputy Director-General of the Comptroller General's Department, and Ms. Yubon Pokpong, Director of the Government Procurement Division, to outline ways to collaborate in advancing policies that support products made in Thailand (Made in Thailand: MiT) and to enhance the efficiency, transparency, and auditability of the government procurement system at the Comptroller General's Department.

In this regard, the FTI presented a plan to drive the procurement of MiT products with a target value of 200 billion Baht by 2027, along with promoting the concept of 'MiT Plus' to extend the usage of Thai products from the public sector to the private sector and the general public. This aims to focus on new strategic industries such as rail systems, aviation, medical devices, and defense industries, which have high value and significant potential to create opportunities for Thai entrepreneurs in the future.

Furthermore, both agencies agreed to enhance the credibility of the MiT certification system by expediting the connection of data between the e-GP system of the Comptroller General's Department and the FTI database through an API system to achieve 100% coverage. This will allow officials to verify the accuracy of certifications immediately, reduce the use of paperwork, and prevent the forgery of certificates.

Additionally, the FTI is preparing to utilize AI technology to verify production data, such as electricity usage and employment, to confirm actual production within the country and increase the reliability of the MiT certification system.

The Comptroller General's Department and the FTI are also set to implement proactive measures to create a level playing field in competition, including:

1. Penalties: The FTI will revise its regulations so that if a company is found to have intentionally falsified information, it will have its rights revoked and be blacklisted for two years, along with the permanent revocation of the certification for that specific product (SKU).
2. Tax benefits: A study will be conducted to allow companies purchasing MiT products to deduct expenses at twice the rate for tax purposes, as well as considering additional benefits from the Board of Investment (BOI) for firms using more than 60% Thai products.
3. Advantages for SMEs: Currently, MiT products receive a 5% advantage in procurement, and if the supplier is an SME, an additional 10% advantage is granted, totaling 15%. In the future, there may be consideration for an additional 5% advantage for companies that comply correctly with the tax system.

Moreover, the Director-General of the Comptroller General's Department emphasized promoting environmentally friendly procurement (Green Procurement) by advancing pilot products across eight categories, including cement, vehicles, paint, paper, and office supplies, into the green procurement system to drive sustainable development in a concrete manner.

This collaboration marks an elevation of the MiT project to its second phase, focusing on supervising the standards of Thai products to ensure they are 'genuinely Thai products,' establishing a transparent trading ecosystem, enhancing confidence in the government procurement system, and improving the competitiveness of Thai industries on the international stage.
