Pranburi Millionaire-Businessman with his goal

Chamnan Puengioh

Mr. Noraphat  Leetherachote, the Managing Director of The Prachuab Fruit Canning Co. Ltd. also known as the Millionaire-Businessman of Pranburi, revealed that the canned pineapple production is now going well, resulting in a lot of continuous orders from European and American countries, therefore the factory must be urged towards a higher daily production.  Moreover the quantity and quality of products have also proceeded in accordance with the accuracy of the production standard. 

The product is also regarded as the permanent main income of Prachuap Khirikhan Province and the country due to an increase in pineapple consumption from foreigners.  Whenever the factory receives income that means pineapple farmers receive income in return as well.  Sometimes there is a shortage of pineapples for a short period of time so the 600 factory workers and all the machinery must be improved and guided for additional innovation continuously. 

Besides the pineapple factory, he has just invested 300 million baht in energy drink production in the name of “Sun Spark”, distributed to America, Europe and Asia.  Now orders of the new product have reached 10 million bottles and 1 million bottles for domestic consumption each month, which is believed to be a good sign of business.  He insisted that the production must proceed in 24 hours in expectation of worldwide distribution.   

Mr. Noraphat is a native of Pranburi who has a clear and possible vision.  In the future he is preparing to continue real estate business such as land and housing projects, hotels and so on.  He believes that this type of business is still marketable and needed by the general public. 

He also trusted that the new government will go ahead with economic and finance development to compete with other Asian countries, and the new government is the result of the election accepted by international countries including USA, therefore actions undertaken by businessmen or the government will be reliable in the eyes of the international community as well. 

Mr. Noraphat expressed his opinion that he is willing to support all levels of politics (both local and national) but as regards to asking him to join politics, he replied that he would not do so because as a politician one must not fail to make the public aware of available properties and it may affect his business.  So he decided that doing just business alone is much better and more appropriate for him, meanwhile social help and support is still being provided all the time it is needed. 

At the moment if the new government goes ahead with stable policies without any turmoil or political conflicts, it is believed that the stability on economy and other aspects will certainly be revealed to the nation.
