The Department of Agriculture has stressed the importance of electronic wallets to farming communities as catalysts for inclusive and sustainable agriculture during the Cashless Expo 2023 held at the World Trade Center over the weekend.
DA director for agricultural digitalization Glenn Estrada of the National Rice Program delivered a speech representing Agriculture Undersecretary for Rice Industry Development Leocadio Sebastian, saying that the expo is a "remarkable confluence of ideas, innovations and inspirations."
"It has set a new benchmark in the journey towards a more digitized agricultural sector. For our farmers, this event has sown the seeds of a digital revolution, one that promises to bring about efficiency, transparency and prosperity," Estrada said.
"We stand at the threshold of a new era where digital wallets are not just tools, but catalysts for a more dynamic, inclusive and sustainable agricultural future. As we move forward, let us carry the insights and inspirations from this expo into our fields and communities. Together, we will turn these visions into reality, creating a brighter, more prosperous future for the Philippine agriculture sector," he added.
