Thailand Registers “Waritch Milk” as First GI-Certified Dairy Product on World Milk Day

Thailand’s Department of Intellectual Property (DIP) has announced the registration of “Waritch Milk” from Waritchaphum District, Sakon Nakhon Province, as a new Geographical Indication (GI) product. The announcement coincides with World Milk Day on June 1 and marks a significant milestone as Waritch Milk becomes the first dairy product in Thailand to receive GI certification. The registration is expected to enhance the market value of the product and generate greater income for local dairy farmers.

According to the Department, Waritch Milk is produced by the Waritchaphum Dairy Cooperative, which consists of 86 member farmers and produces more than 16.8 million cartons annually. The cooperative benefits from a long-standing royal initiative that supports dairy farming development through funding, production technology, infrastructure, and human resource development. These efforts have enabled the community to establish a fully integrated dairy industry, ranging from raw milk production to the manufacturing of pasteurized milk, UHT milk, and animal feed.

Waritch Milk is made from 100 percent pure cow’s milk obtained from Holstein Friesian crossbred cattle raised in the fertile foothills and valleys of the Phu Phan mountain range. The area’s abundant water resources, favorable climate, and year-round availability of animal feed contribute to the milk’s distinctive qualities, including its creamy texture, naturally sweet flavor, pleasant aroma, and ivory-white appearance. The Department also highlighted the potential of the cooperative and its facilities to develop agritourism activities, creating additional economic opportunities for local communities while promoting Thailand’s GI products on a wider scale.
