Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the factors affecting the quality development and certification of local fishery products in Thailand. The study was cross-sectional and survey method was used to collect the data. We distributed 325 questionnaires to processors of fishery products working in Ranong province. PLS-SEM was used to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings of the study indicate that supply chain had a significant relationship with product quality and certification. The findings also indicate that government regulations moderate the relationship between supply chain and product quality and certification. The current study will discuss the Thai government’s policies and efforts to ensure the quality and safety of aquaculture products from “Pond to Plate” through an efficient management strategy.
