PROBLEMS
The increasing costs of raw food in Malaysia has been a key concern for the government and for all of us. Farmers are producing blindly, distribution of agriculture produce is becoming more complex, and food wastages have now reached 15,000 tons per day in Malaysia.
Food safety traceability is almost non-existent and the use of harmful fertilizers from overseas imports have been rampant. With all these thrown in the mix, we are witnessing a steady increase in import dependency, food safety concerns and thus culminating to the ever rising costs.
SOLUTIONS
A FARM TO TABLE PLATFORM, ALWAYS ACCESSIBLE
With Pasar Segar, we have been building a community of local fishermen and farmers that we have personally curated the produce to reflect on the principles of safe and fresh produce which is based on our foundation.
Over the last 18 months we have grown our community of local farmers and fishermen, increasing the availability of local grown / harvested produce on our platform.
