The significance of food and smart agriculture has surged due to the recent food supply instability led by the increase in global population and climate change, along with the rise of eco-friendly industries. Smart agriculture has a new paradigm in the agricultural sector, integrating advanced technologies from the Fourth Industrial Revolution, such as ICT and biotechnology, across all stages of the agricultural value chain – production, processing, distribution, and consumption – to achieve the sector's smart transformation.

We recognize this paradigm shift in agriculture, leading to accelerated market growth and new business opportunities, and plan to enhance our food asset competitiveness and build a future food business portfolio by discovering and investing in promising new ventures that leverage advanced technologies across the entire food value chain.
