PAN GAN Project
In 2020, WHA Group launched PAN GAN, an online marketplace to promote and sell homemade products and homegrown specialties made by people residing around 9 of WHA Group’s industrial estates in Chonburi and Rayong provinces.
The new website, pangan.wha-industrialestate.com/en/ home, aims to link sellers with shoppers, by offering a showcase of products in different categories ranging from handmade crafts and traditional medicines to local food items and homemade delicacies.
The program was welcomed by micro-entrepreneurs, food producers, small cottage industry owners and housewives, who were invited to join, so that they could promote and sell their products to a wider market. WHA Group’s Corporate Social Responsibilities initiative encourages job creation and local economic development. For many households, this opportunity represents a new source of revenue or side income to uplift their lives and secure a better future for the youth.
In addition, it is also a way of preserving the community’s heritage and passing on the art of handicrafts and specialty food products from different hometowns. It focuses on creating value based on local traditions, the availability of agricultural products and natural materials, and the handing down of skills from one generation to the next.
