CP Extra Public Company Limited, operator of the wholesale business “Makro”, has planted its flag in the Songkhla market, making a move to penetrate the local customer group and tourists, opening a new second Makro branch in Songkhla Province, responding to the needs of local customers, in response to the economic sector that will grow in line with the recovery of tourism, and moving forward to support and stimulate the local economy through purchasing seafood from farmers, reinforcing its position as a platform of opportunity alongside Thai farmers.
Mrs. Saowalak Thithaphan, Chief Executive Officer of Makro Wholesale Business Group, revealed that Songkhla is a province with economic growth from the tourism and service sectors. This is because Malaysians like to travel across the border to visit Songkhla Province during long holidays and important festivals because it is convenient to travel both by land and air. In addition, there are beautiful natural tourist attractions and a variety of food, making it popular among Thais and foreigners. These factors have resulted in Songkhla Province having high purchasing power, which has benefited local entrepreneurs who have received more benefits from the growth of the tourism and service sectors.
“As a large wholesaler with a wide range of consumer products at affordable prices, Makro is ready to meet the needs of entrepreneurs in delivering quality raw materials to generate additional income and profits. In addition, we also emphasize supporting local farmers by purchasing agricultural products, especially seafood, meat, vegetables, and GI fruits from local farmers, strengthening the community economy and growing alongside the organization’s business, emphasizing doing business alongside Thai society and being a platform of opportunities,” said Ms. Saowalak.
In addition, the opening of Makro Songkhla branch also creates jobs and careers for the local population. CP Extra Public Company Limited opens employment, supports farmers and SMEs, and purchases local products in line with the business mission to grow sustainably alongside the community and society.
