Corporate Bits | Sands China purchases goods from Congjiang county

Sands China Ltd. received its second batch of products from Guizhou’s Congjiang County yesterday at The Venetian Macao’s loading bay.

The gaming operator was the first integrated tourism and leisure enterprise in Macau to purchase goods from the county, and with this shipment, is now the first to purchase fresh produce as well, the company noted in a statement. 

Initiated by the Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM), the procurement drive seeks to strengthen cooperation between enterprises in Congjiang County and Macau, and to support mainland China’s nationwide poverty alleviation work.

This latest shipment comprised 5,000 kilograms of mandarin oranges, 300 boxes of chili sauce and 600 boxes of bottled water.

The goods were purchased from Congjiang through local Macau SME suppliers Produtos Alimentares de Restauracao Man Seng Limitada and Tak Seng Hang. 

Sands China pledged in a statement that it will continue to explore and expand the range of agricultural products purchased from Congjiang in the future.
