Chairman of the Board ANNUAL REPORT 2004 TRUE CORPORATION PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED 15 from the Chairman of the Board Telecommunication usage and competition continued to increase in Thailand in 2004, especially in the mobile and Internet sectors. Total Internet penetration jumped from 9 percent to 11 percent, with Broadband use, although still relatively small, surging by more than 13 folds. Mobile phone penetration also continued its steady rise, increasing from 34 percent to 41 percent of the population, and for the first time large numbers of Thai consumers started enjoying the benefits of non-voice mobile services, such as downloadable financial information, games and photo-based communication and community services. And as Thai appetites for high-speed connectivity and convenient lifestyle services grew during the year, I am proud that True has been at the forefront of meeting these needs. In 2003 and 2004 we made major organizational and other changes to ensure we were strategically well placed to drive emerging trends. The biggest change was our decision to establish ourselves under a new brand, as well as strengthen ourselves both technically and financially so that we could become Thailandûs leading customer-focused total communications solutions provider. Subsequent brand campaigns, conducted both externally and internally during the year were designed to leverage on synergies within the True Group and enhance our ability to serve in ways that matter the most to our customers by enhancing their life styles. Our 2004 results show our transformation has been a success, our strategy is working and most importantly we are delivering what consumers want. In 2005 we will build on what we have achieved and continue producing high quality and innovative communications solutions that enrich our customersû lives. If we can maintain this focus, which I am confident we can, we will be in a good position to prosper further as the Thai telecommunications industry is liberalized. 16 ANNUAL REPORT 2004 TRUE CORPORATION PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED from the President and CEO The True Group ended 2004 stronger than ever before. All aspects of our business were strengthened and foundations were laid for continuing future growth. True has become Thailandûs largest Internet Service Provider, its largest Broadband operator

    From farm to fork: logistics, transport, infrastructure Richard D. Lovell Paper prepared for presentation at the “The Supermarket Revolution In Food: Good, bad or ugly for the world’s farmers, consumers and retailers?” conference conducted by the Crawford Fund for International Agricultural Research, Parliament House, Canberra, Australia, 14-16 August 2011 Copyright 2011 by Richard D. Lovell. All rights reserved. Readers may make verbatim copies of this document for non-commercial purposes by any means, provided that this copyright notice appears on all such copies. From farm to fork: logistics, transport, infrastructure Richard D. Lovell Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Company Ltd Abstract In Thailand, as in other markets, the supermarket ‘revolution’ is seen as a ‘two-edged sword’. On the one hand, it can lower food prices for consumers and create opportunities for farmers and processors to gain access to quality-differentiated food markets and raise incomes. On the other hand, it can create challenges for small retailers, farmers, and processors who are not equipped to meet the new competition from, and requirements of, supermarkets. Retailing in Thailand has come a long way in only a couple of decades, with new companies entering the market, such as the large European companies Tesco, Carrefour (until recently) and Big C (Casino Group). The number of convenience stores has also grown, with 7-Eleven (6000 stores) run by CP Group (CP ALL) and to a lesser extent Family Mart from Taiwan. Along with these modern trade retailers, third party logistics (3PL) service providers such as Linfox, DHL, CEVA Logistics and others have also entered Thailand.
