The FIC serves as a hub for food research and development, dedicated to creating high-quality, safe, delicious, and health-conscious products. The center aims to meet the evolving needs of modern consumers while enhancing quality of life across diverse groups and generating a positive, sustainable impact on both society and the environment.

Combining expertise in food science, engineering, processing, packaging, sensory science, and culinary arts, FIC experts collaborate with leading academics and researchers – both locally and globally – to develop products that deliver a “complete experience”—balancing taste, nutrition, and safety.

Betagro also established a state-of-the-art, 4,000-square-meter Pilot Plant in Pathum Thani to support real-world testing of innovations in near-commercial environments. The facility features a sensory laboratory, immersive training space, and specialized test kitchens, making the FIC a complete ecosystem for food innovation.

Key FIC Achievements:

S-Pure – Premium Quality, Highest Safety Standards

Antibiotic-free pork, chicken, and eggs, have been further developed into processed foods free from MSG, preservatives, and artificial additives. Betagro became the first Thai company to export S-Pure chilled chicken to Singapore, backed by the FIC and certified by the Singapore Food Agency. The product’s internationally recognized quality has driven strong growth, with sales achieving a CAGR of 23% between 2019 and 2025.

Inspire:D – Personalized Nutrition for Health

In partnership with Siriraj Hospital, the FIC has developed functional foods aimed at preventing non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Additional specialized product lines include foods tailored for seniors, children, and fitness enthusiasts to meet their specific nutritional needs.

La Comida – World-Class Charcuterie from Thai Ingredients

European-style cured meats, such as charcuterie and cold cuts, are crafted using traditional French and Italian techniques combined with Betagro’s high-quality raw materials. These products deliver the taste of premium imports while ensuring safety, sustainability, and controlled sodium levels—without preservatives.

Next-Generation Packaging – Less Plastic, Lower Carbon

By developing thinner, yet high-quality HDPE bags, Betagro, in collaboration with the FIC, has reduced plastic use by over 210 tonnes annually, cutting its carbon footprint by 35% - demonstrating our commitment to environmentally conscious business practices.

Meatly! – Alternative Proteins for the Future

Betagro’s food scientists have developed a plant-based protein innovation designed to meet health-conscious and sustainability trends. Combining soy, wheat, and rice bran oil, the product replicates the taste and texture of meat while providing high nutritional value. This plant-based protein offers a sustainable protein source for the future food system.

The FIC not only focuses on technology and health, but also prioritizes elevating quality of life for consumers in Thailand and beyond through an integrated innovation-nutrition-sustainability approach.
