Amazon.com said a \u201csmall number of roles\u201d in Singapore will be impacted as it phases out local fulfillment, including Amazon Fresh, in the city-state.<\/p>\n
The move is part of a broader shift toward international e-commerce and prioritises growing demand in Singapore for products sourced from overseas, Amazon said in a statement on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Amazon Fresh and grocery partnerships with Little Farms and A.S. Watson Group will be discontinued from July 6, the company said in a separate email update to members.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re responding by increasing our investment in what customers tell us they want most,\u201d said Peter Li, Amazon Singapore country manager. The e-commerce giant is helping affected workers find new roles within the company and offering severance payments and career transition services for those who are unable to.<\/p>\n
Amazon said it\u2019s working to transition vendors and sellers to alternative ways to continue serving customers in Singapore and remains committed to the island. It employs 2 500 people in Singapore across its retail, global selling, entertainment, devices and Amazon Web Services businesses.<\/p>\n
The company didn\u2019t immediately respond to an email request for comment.<\/p>\n
Amazon said in January it would cut 16 000 corporate roles globally as part of a drive to reduce bureaucracy and \u201cincrease ownership.\u201d It also announced the closure of its Amazon-branded grocery stores and automated grab-and-go outlets, removing two key elements of its expansion into physical retail.<\/p>\n
