From Farm to Fork: Bringing the aspirations of F&B entrepreneurs to life
At OCBC, we bring the aspirations of entrepreneurs in the Food and Beverage (F&B) industry to life. Beyond restaurants, we support entrepreneurs across the whole value chain in the F&B industry.
An F&B value chain consists of all the stakeholders, from producers to wholesalers, distributors, and F&B service providers, who participate in the coordinated production and value-adding activities needed to make and deliver delicious F&B products.
No matter which part of the F&B value chain you are operating in, our business solutions can help you capture untapped customer segments, establish an omnichannel strategy, explore vertical integration and unlock the opportunities in your supply chain, so you can focus on cooking up new money-making recipes.
