TVD Broker, in collaboration with the Government Pharmaceutical Organization (GPO) under the PLANTXGPO project, serves as a distribution channel or marketing partner for products developed under the GPO's PLANTXGPO strategy. This aligns with GPO's policy of collaborating with the private sector.
GPO collaborates with various sectors, including the government, private sector, and educational institutions, to promote the development of herbal products under the concept of "GPO Plant-Based Medicine."

Because TVD Broker operates a multi-channel retail business and has expertise in the distribution and marketing of health products and innovations, this partnership is well-suited for collaboration. This includes dietary supplements primarily derived from plant-based substances (plant-based drugs and supplements). Examples include herbal products used in sports medicine, such as muscle-relaxing sprays and balms, turmeric extract supplements for bone and joint strength, and other herbal health supplements.

The Group places the highest priority on product quality and reliability. Therefore, it has established a strategic partnership with the Government Pharmaceutical Organization (GPO), a key organization in the production of medicines and health products in the country.
