Dr. Nattakit Tangpoonsinthana, Chief Marketing Officer for Central Pattana PLC, stated "Central Pattana's Vegetarian Food Festival evolves each year to reflect the changing trends and lifestyles of vegetarian dining, ensuring that consumers enjoy meals that are not only healthy but also diverse and exciting, offering new and innovative choices. Insights from the New Age Vegetarian trend indicate that 76% of consumers prioritize convenient and ready-to-eat meals, while 72% emphasize nutritional value. The ready-to-eat vegetarian market has seen a growth of up to sevenfold, and the popularity of plant-based food has doubled. It's clear that consumers today are increasingly opting for healthier food choices with a desire for variety, yet still seeking an enjoyable dining experience. With the 'Thailand J Food Festival 2024,' we aim to break away from the traditional boundaries of vegetarian cuisine, transcending beyond conventional offerings. This year, we have partnered with the government sector, educational institutions, and renowned chefs to create a diverse and intriguing array of vegetarian dishes that stand out for their exceptional flavors, blending deliciousness with creativity. This approach redefines the vegetarian dining experience, making it more vibrant and appealing, not only for those observing the festival but also for those who typically do not follow a vegetarian diet yet are drawn to the variety and allure of these innovative dishes. Central shopping centers nationwide are your one-stop destination to experience the complete vegetarian lifestyle."

Additionally, the Thailand J Food Festival held annually at Central shopping centers nationwide, plays a vital role in supporting both the local and national economy. Beyond providing consumers with a diverse array of vegetarian dining experiences, the event also promotes local entrepreneurs, community restaurants, and ingredient producers, particularly farmers from the Royal Project, Doi Kham, and Doi Tung, contributing to sustainable economic development. The festival serves as a magnet for both domestic and international tourists, stimulating spending and boosting the economy in various regions across the country.
