- Chiangmai Frozen Foods Public Company Limited manufactures, exports, and distributes frozen vegetables and freeze-dried products from Thailand. The company produces a range of frozen vegetables including soybeans (edamame), green beans, bush beans, sweet corn, baby corn, carrots, broccoli, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, black fungus, champignon mushrooms, pea pods, potatoes, red chilies, and onions; it offers these as individual products and custom mixed vegetable blends under brands such as BENAS and Cornista. Operations center on two factories in Sansai district, Chiang Mai province, sourcing raw materials from northern Thai farmers, with headquarters in Bangkok; primary export markets encompass Japan, the United States, Sweden, Denmark, Taiwan, and China.
Founded in 1988 and listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand in 1994 (ticker: CM.BK), the company maintains an annual production capacity of 27,000 metric tons and employs approximately 1,800 staff. It previously held a majority stake in subsidiary Sino-Thai Freeze & Dry Company Limited and affiliate Agrifood Processing Co., Ltd., which sells frozen and canned sweet corn; in August 2024, Chiangmai Frozen Foods divested its 68.72% ownership in Sino-Thai Freeze & Dry to an undisclosed buyer for THB 0.04 million, ending that subsidiary relationship.
