The corporate affairs director of Carrefour Indonesia, Irawan D. Kadarman, yesterday said that small and medium enterprises (SMEs) will soon be able to place their goods on the retailer's shelves without having to pay a listing fee, with the retailer agreeing to provide access for SMEs as part of its CSR programme. "We will select SMEs with a regular supply capability to sell products that are in line with the tastes of our customers." Carrefour will only take the margin between the supplier price and the retail price as its profit, according to Mr Irawan, adding that four product categories would be eligible for the programme; grocery, fresh food (vegetables, fish), household equipment and textiles.
