gourami farmers whose production process has met geographical certification standard rises to 59.02%
while the snakeskin gourami processors who meet the geographical certification standard counts for
12.5%. Moreover, a manual for quality control and quality assurance was developed for Bang Bo
snakeskin gourami, which can be immediately used by Samut Prakan province. Finally, the newly
