The Marketing Department handles all sales/purchases of the group.
Rubber sales include local and export. It involves documentation,
shipping, banking arrangements, etc. Similar arrangements are done
for sale of various products of oil palms, coconuts and cocoa.
Purchases
of estates' requirements such as fertilisers, chemicals,
fuel, seedlings and others are done centrally. By purchasing
in
bulk and through periodic tender system, maximum discounts
are obtained from major suppliers and these discounts are
given back
to the estates and they enjoy the full benefits of such discounts.
Purchases of major items are programmed in such a manner that
supplies required by individual estate come on time.
The main emphasis of this department is to obtain the best price
for sales and purchases. |
