Carrefour policy helps farmers

French multinational retailer Carrefour said, in its latest corporate social responsibility report released in June, that it continued to make progress linking Chinese farmers with supermarkets worldwide, to provide customers with agricultural products of good quality at low prices. The group said it had over the last few years established 37 food safety laboratories in China and provided job opportunities to students from many Chinese universities. The retailer said it had also organized training classes for employees on subjects including purchasing, storage and the sale of fresh food, including fish, vegetables, fruit and grains.
