With an extensive network of thousands of farmers across Papua New Guinea involved in our supply chain, CPL Group is proud to be supporting Small to Medium Enterprises, or SME’s, in bringing their products to market through Stop & Shop and City Pharmacy.
The Group recently showcased this engagement in our ‘We PNG Buy PNG’ Campaign at the 5th Annual SME Breakfast with the Prime Minister at APEC Haus, Port Moresby.
Hosted by the PNG SME Magazine and supported by the SME Corporation, and Department of Commerce and Industry, the event marked the start to the SME week which saw the Prime Minister and regional stakeholders in attendance from the Agriculture and Tourism sectors.
This year’s theme is Trailblazing the PNG SME Frontier and celebrates the international day for micro and SME businesses globally.
In addition to the breakfast, a “meet the makers” exhibition had several organizations and SME groups set up information booths to showcase their products and services designed for small businesses.
CPL had on display a wide range of products from its SME partners and farmer suppliers which varied from beauty products to fresh produce. Some of which included the Pearl Body Scrub, Sweet Potato (Kaukau) Flour, Virgin Cocount Oil as well as an array of fresh produce.
The exhibition was an opportunity to demonstrate the magnitude of our lead as PNG’s leading retailer and our footprint and support in the SME space.
In alignment with its vision to live healthier, better lives, CPL is committed to expanding its SME and farmer network and takes pride in the support it provides to its current Entrepreneur Partners.
