Ms. Siriporn Dechsingh, Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer of CP Extra Public Company Limited, the wholesale and retail operator of “Makro-Lotus,” revealed that the company, in collaboration with the chairman of the Ban Non Khawa horticultural farmer group, has launched the “Ban Non Khawa Agricultural Learning Center.” The center aims to upgrade agricultural practices, create income, and improve the quality of life for Thai farmers sustainably. The “Ban Non Khawa Agricultural Learning Center” was established as a learning center for sustainable agriculture, based on the principle of “market-led production.” This involves planning agricultural activities to achieve production that aligns with market demand in terms of quantity, quality, product development, and packaging to meet standards, connecting to modern trade markets. Visitors will learn from model farmers and experienced experts in areas such as group formation and management, production planning, cost calculation, GAP standards, product grading and packaging, traceability systems, and logistics management. This includes preparing product presentations to the purchasing departments of Makro and Lotus, as well as demonstration plots, packing facilities, and field trips to branches to allow participants to see the entire supply chain process from upstream to downstream and apply it in real-world situations.

This collaboration reinforces CP Axtra's role in supporting Thai farmers, extending beyond simply providing sales channels. It encompasses human resource development, upgrading standards, building infrastructure, connecting markets, and establishing systems that enable communities to be self-reliant in the long term. The goal is to create a high-quality, stable, and sustainable agricultural supply chain that grows alongside the grassroots economy. #CPAXTRA #makroxLotuss #PlatformofOpportunity #CPAXTRAforSustainability #AlongsideThaiFarmers
