Upon achieving full production capacity, Akara’s annual contribution to the Thai economy reaches an impressive 4.3 billion baht*. This includes substantial royalties amounting to approximately one billion baht annually. Of these royalties, 40% is directed to the central government, 50% is reinvested in the community where the gold is mined, and the remaining 10% is distributed among local administration offices across the nation.
Akara is committed to community welfare and growth. An additional 21% of the royalties are allocated to community funds, fostering initiatives aimed at supporting and safeguarding community development and health.
We prioritize the well-being of the Chatree Community by ensuring that over 90% of our workforce, including contractors, consists of local residents. This intentional focus on the local community not only contributes to economic stability but also upholds family values. Parents within the Chatree family have the opportunity to earn a living without the need to leave their families in pursuit of employment, contrasting with the common practice in other parts of Thailand where parents often must seek work away from their families. This approach has a profound, positive impact on the Chatree Community, surpassing monetary measurements.
