Makro, a joint venture cash and carry supermarket involving Siam Makro and local LYP Group, has called for supplies of vegetables and fruit from local farmers for its official opening in Phnom Penh by the end of the year. The company says on its Facebook page that fruit and vegetable farmers who are interested in becoming business partners with Makro Cambodia can join the company in managing both costs and quality. Planning to open official by December, Makro Cambodia announced recently that it would start out as a cash and carry center selling food and non-food products primarily to registered members, including small and medium-sized businesses, retailers, caterers, and public institutions.
