Overview
As part of the DTI’s Supply Chain and Logistics Group, I lead efforts to strengthen market linkages for agricultural producers and MSMEs by connecting them with institutional buyers, food terminals, and trading posts. I coordinate with regional and provincial offices to support digitalization and improve logistics access. My work includes linking cooperatives and food terminals with online platform technology providers and logistics companies to help them operate more efficiently and reach more buyers. I also engage with public and private stakeholders to ensure these initiatives are sustained and impactful.
