The Philippine Star
It’s simply called e-AgriteK.
It stands for Kagalingan sa Agrikultura Tungo sa Kabuhayan, Kasaganaan at Kaunlaran, an electronic system that will provide stakeholders in the farm and fisheries sectors with tools to produce higher yields and earn more profits, particularly in research and development.
To put e-AgriteK in motion, the Department of Agriculture is tapping experts from the agribusiness and information technology sectors to help the Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR) launch the project.
BAR director Nicomedes Eleazar said member-institutions of the BAR-coordinated National Research and Development System for Agriculture and Fisheries, including state colleges and universities, non-government organizations, and the private sector, will be tapped to help ensure the program’s success.
e-AgriteK will be carried out nationwide with institutional assistance and support from the Agricultural Training Institute, AgriÂbusiness and Marketing Assistance Service, and Information Technology Center for Agriculture and Fisheries.
