Day 3: Meeting the CEO

Dressed in business attire walking through the street of Bangkok, Thailand, the team was ready to experience a regular business day in Thailand. Today we worked on our case study at the office of C.P. Intertrade Co. Ltd. (“CPI”) located at the 28th Floor of the AIA Capital Center Building. 

As part of the agenda the team met with Sumeth Laomoraphorn, president of C.P. Trading Group Co., Limited and Chief Executive Officer of CPI. Mr. Sumeth explained with a distinctive passion the rice industry worldwide, the CPI business and the CPI Corporate Social Responsibility Programs.

The team was able to learn more about the major rice producers and consumers, the major rice exporters and importers, and the unique characteristics of Thai Rice. The company’s main concern is that rice consumption has surpassed the rice production, and they expect this shortage to continue growing due to the expected growth of the global population. With regards to this matter Mr. Sumeth share with the team the vision and strategy of CPI for the future years.
