Amazon.com Inc. said a “small number of roles” in Singapore will be impacted as it phases out local fulfillment including Amazon Fresh in the city-state.

The move is part of a broader shift toward international e-commerce and prioritizes growing demand in Singapore for products sourced from overseas, Amazon said in a statement on Thursday.
