In his remarks during the go-live launch of the “Deliver-E” online delivery platform for farm goods, Agriculture Secretary William Dar said “online” is the new byword in safeguarding food security in the country.
“A more comprehensive digitalization of the agricultural supply chain could germinate further growth in the agriculture sector,” he said, noting that “fully embracing digitalization will drive the sector to journey towards the 4th Industrial Revolution or Agriculture 4.0.”
Deliver-E was organized in partnership with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Food Terminal Inc. (FTI), farm cooperatives, the private sector, and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Together, on December 14, 2020, they held a virtual pledge signing.
