The scientists were accompanied by Ms. Alexandra Cabrera of PCAARRD and Mr. Louie Cervantes, RMIS Coordinator of WESVARRDEC.
During their visit to the WESVARRDEC office in West Visayas State University, Dr. Kim Yungho shared valuable notes and experiences gained from the successful application of E-commerce in South Korea's agricultural sector. It is expected that the Korean approach can successfully work in the Philippine setting through dynamic inter-agency support and international technological cooperation.
