METRO Cash & Carry’s wholesale business improves the local supply chains and their participants by implementing the group-wide food safety and hygiene standards, by transferring knowledge, and by integrating the local production into the Company’s international sourcing.

Since 2002, through the development support projects with DEG, GTZ, METRO Cash & Carry trained more than 20,000 Vietnamese farmers and fishermen in safe production to increase their yield and their product quality, enabling the local producers to integrate into the modern trade and to grow their business in sustainable manners.

METRO’s direct sourcing concept via the fruit & vegetable platform in Lam Dong province, and the fish platform in Can Tho – Mekong Delta enables the local farmers increase their income while ensuring the METRO’s “from farm to fork” quality control system.
