In particular, before the storm, the Northern units proactively increased their stock of goods by 3 times compared to normal days. Many essential goods were supplied by the unit below cost price, ensuring food hygiene and safety. Despite the power outage and difficult living conditions, some of our employees slept at the points of sale and distribution centers to continue their mission of being ready to supply goods to people at any time. Promoting the spirit of cooperatives, supporting people in the most difficult situations, so that people can access essential food and quickly return to their daily lives."
