Asia Pacific Council

Since its formation in 2004, the Asian Council has become one of the region’s most significant research bodies dedicated to in-depth investigation of food retailing issues. Members come from all parts of the region – from India to Indonesia, as well as Australia and from all forms of retail from hypermarkets to convenience stores and on-line shopping. They sign on for a four year term and work in a cooperative, non-competitive environment to develop research of value to retailers across this amazingly diverse and growing region.
