DID you know that purcashing locally sourced goods is better not just for the economy but in terms of your health as well?
The ingredients are able to retain vital nutrients and freshness that could otherwise be lost through processing and shipping.
That is why we are more than pleased to learn that Malaysia’s favourite convenience store, 7-Eleven Malaysia has announced that they will be sourcing most of their raw ingredients from local producers.
Here’s why!
7-Eleven Malaysia has formed long-term partnerships with around 160 local producers and suppliers, scattered throughout Klang Valley and the northern and southern regions.
This will ensure a continuous supply of essential raw ingredients to serve Malaysians, including rice, veggies, poultry, herbs and spices, baking goods, and packaging materials.
With this initiative, 7-Eleven hopes that they’ll not only contribute more to the local economy, but also reduce carbon emissions that typically come with transportation, create job opportunities, and bring local communities closer together.
7-Eleven will also be regularly collecting feedback from suppliers to maintain high-quality products, as well as jointly develop new innovative products.
Now to the best part! 7-Eleven Malaysia is going to level up their fresh food selection by launching their first commissary!
With a wider (and more lip-smacking) variety of food offerings, Malaysians will soon have more choices to fill up their stomach with, such as sandwiches, onigiris and rice-based ready-to-eat meals.
Stay tuned to 7-Eleven Malaysia’s Facebook, Instagram and X for updates on their upcoming commissary and other exciting promos.
