Asset World Corp Public Company Limited (AWC), a Thai real estate developer focused on comprehensive lifestyle solutions, has joined forces with leaders in the food industry from both the public and private sectors to drive Thailand as the regional food wholesale hub. They have launched AEC FOOD WHOLESALE PRATUNAM under the concept of “INTEGRATED WHOLESALE PLATFORM FOR NON-STOP OPPORTUNITY”, providing a comprehensive wholesale platform to create limitless business opportunities.

With a complete solution through an Eco-System that unites partners from both the public and private sectors, this initiative brings together food wholesalers from around the world with buyers across the AEC (ASEAN Economic Community) in one location, addressing the diverse needs of businesses in terms of product quality and pricing. It aims to establish a new standard for the Thai wholesale industry, positioning Thailand as the largest destination for food wholesale in the region, strategically located in the city center, connecting global wholesalers with buyers throughout the AEC. Services are set to commence at the end of June 2023, both offline and online.

This collaboration includes government sectors such as the Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Industry, and Yiwu, the largest wholesale market developer and manager in the world from Yiwu, People's Republic of China, which signed a strategic cooperation agreement with AWC last March. Additionally, chambers of commerce from various countries, including the British Chamber of Commerce in Thailand, Thai-Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Australia-Thailand Chamber of Commerce, Thai-Canadian Chamber of Commerce, Thai-New Zealand Chamber of Commerce, Swiss-Thai Chamber of Commerce, and the Thai-Spanish Chamber of Commerce, along with leading Thai food businesses such as Berli Jucker Public Company Limited, CPF Global Food Solutions Public Company Limited, Thai Beverage Public Company Limited, Thai Union Group Public Company Limited, Betagro Public Company Limited, PRG Corporation Public Company Limited, and Tipco Foods (Thailand) Public Company Limited, and KCG Corporation Public Company Limited.

Naowalapa Traisorat, CEO and Managing Director of Asset World Corp Public Company Limited (AWC), stated, “AWC believes in the power of collaboration between the public and private sectors to drive Thailand as the regional food wholesale hub, connecting the Wholesale Eco-System to meet future comprehensive needs and enhance limitless business opportunities through the development of an online-offline integrated wholesale platform that facilitates transactions between buyers and sellers throughout the process, from sourcing products to delivery and payment.”

Moreover, the launch of AEC FOOD WHOLESALE PRATUNAM supports Thailand's role as a gateway for the wholesale industry in the AEC, which comprises over 10 member countries with a combined population of over 700 million. Thailand also has the potential to connect wholesale trade to various countries conveniently through its strong logistics infrastructure, further supporting its position as a true regional food wholesale hub.

AEC FOOD WHOLESALE PRATUNAM is strategically located in the heart of Bangkok, covering over 10 rai with a total building area of over 67,000 square meters. This wholesale center will facilitate buyers across the AEC to access products from over 600 leading global food operators directly, offering competitive prices and a wide variety of quality products that meet their needs quickly and efficiently, including frozen foods, chilled foods, dairy products, seasonings and ingredients, rice, beverages, coffee and tea, snacks and desserts, and household items. Additionally, both buyers and sellers can meet and negotiate business offline throughout the year and online 24/7, connecting buyers and sellers across continents.

With an investment value of over 6.5 billion baht, under the concept of “INTEGRATED WHOLESALE PLATFORM FOR NON-STOP OPPORTUNITY”, AWC aims for AEC FOOD WHOLESALE PRATUNAM to become a comprehensive destination for food wholesale in the region, supporting Thailand as a gateway for wholesale trade worldwide through three main components:

  • INTEGRATED BUSINESS PLATFORM: An integrated wholesale platform that connects online and offline wholesale experiences (O2O Integrated), supporting the wholesale industry to meet all needs of sellers and buyers by bringing producers from around the world into one platform, allowing customers across the region to source a diverse range of quality products in one place, along with comprehensive wholesale infrastructure such as warehouses, loading areas, and the Phenix Box platform for online transactions designed to meet wholesale business needs, including Bulk Purchase, Group Purchase, Multi-Level Procurement, and comprehensive delivery, along with marketing tools and customer relationship programs through a Loyalty Program, as well as a Food Lounge and Taste Kitchen for showcasing or demonstrating cooking with available products.
  • FULL ASSORTMENT: A complete range of products and services that meet all needs of operators in terms of quality, price, and product diversity, sourced directly from domestic producers and global brands, with eight main product lines from leading partners. Additionally, there is a Solution Service Center (SSC) that provides consulting on export and import, language services, product showcasing, and presentation to connect business opportunities both domestically and internationally, continuously supporting the Thai wholesale industry and creating a sustainable wholesale business Eco-System.
  • NON-STOP OPPORTUNITY: Connecting the wholesale network (WHOLESALE ECO-SYSTEM) to meet comprehensive future needs with limitless business opportunities through collaboration from all sectors, including the government, chambers of commerce from various countries, and the private sector, including Yiwu, which is ready to support and enhance the potential of both buyers and sellers through comprehensive marketing strategies, such as networking events or seminars to educate business operators and connect business opportunities, allowing buyers and sellers to negotiate directly without intermediaries.

The AEC FOOD WHOLESALE PRATUNAM project will serve as a gateway connecting wholesale operators for significant growth, connecting new opportunities to meet comprehensive future needs through the Eco-System where AWC and partners from both the public and private sectors act as the bridge between buyers and sellers, driving the Thai wholesale industry towards becoming a strong and sustainable regional food wholesale hub,” Naowalapa added.
