We speak to Anuja Kar, Senior Agriculture Economist at the East and Pacific Region Agriculture and Food Global Practice of the World Bank as she helps us unpack the World Bank’s latest Malaysia Economic Monitor report, entitled “Farming the Future: Harvesting Malaysia’s Agricultural Resilience through Digital Technologies”. The report sheds light on why DATs or Digital Agriculture Technologies have the potential to drive economic growth by unlocking extra productivity in the country’s structurally critical agriculture sector.
