At present, the modern-trade system has
been established in Thailand which composes of
retail markets like hypermarket, supermarket,
cash & carry, convenient store, etc. They
occupy the prime area of the city and suburb.
The lifestyle of the people has changed a lot in
recent years. They usually shop at these new
shopping stores instead of an old-style market.
The recent market survey shows that 60% of
the people do shopping via this modern-trade
system which buys fruits from the wholesale
markets or brokers who are linked to the
growers’ networks.
