Committee on Commodity Problems (CCP) Side Event on: “Digitalization in Food and Agricultural Markets and Trade”

This side event aims to explore the role of digitalization in food and agricultural markets and trade and assess the tools and platforms available for countries to use and reap benefits. It is envisaged that the discussion will address the following questions:

1) What is the impact of digital technologies on food and agricultural trade and markets?

2) How can digitalization help markets deliver sustainable development outcomes – economic, environmental and social – and facilitate smallholder farmers’ inclusion?

3) What role do governments play in driving digitalization in the food and agriculture sectors, and what are the barriers hindering the path to transformation?
