Bayer Thai Co., Ltd. has officially activated its solar panel system to power its corn seed production facility in Phitsanulok using renewable energy.
The inauguration ceremony on was led by notable figures including Mr Manas Seangkong, Director of Phitsanulok Provincial Agricultural Extension Office, and representatives from various organizations.
