		Established in 1998, Tesco Lotus was a joint venture of the Charoen Pokphand Group and Tesco, the British giant supermarket chain.
		However, facing criticism over the growth of hypermarkets in Thailand, the CP Group sold its shares in Tesco Lotus in 2003, though it did retain interest in Tesco Lotus in China.

	THE BRITISH POINT OF VIEW
		Tesco and its Thai partners such as the CP Group now send an enormous amount of goods such as chicken products to the UK.
		This is a direct result of Tesco deciding to do business here, so that’s a benefit and opportunity to Thailand that would not have arisen if Tesco hadn’t come here.
		And those Thai companies, as a result of producing goods for a company like Tesco Lotus, which has such high quality standards, are now better able to export than they were before.
