In a move that expands the acceptance of cryptocurrency in Venezuela, Farmarket, a leading pharmacy chain, has integrated Dash cryptocurrency payments into its operations. The deployment of an XpayCash PoS system within the first pilot stores, managed by Panda Exchange, enables instant transactions facilitated by Dash's InstantSend technology.

為了擴大委內瑞拉對加密貨幣的接受度，領先的藥房連鎖店 Farmarket 已將達世幣加密貨幣支付整合到其營運中。由 Panda Exchange 管理的第一批試點商店部署了 XpayCash PoS 系統，透過達世幣的 InstantSend 技術實現即時交易。

During the initial two months of operation, members of the local Dash team will be on hand to provide support and educate staff and customers about the technology, addressing any questions related to Dash and X-PayCash. The rollout is expected to encompass the entire chain of 22 stores by the end of 2019.

在營運的最初兩個月內，當地 Dash 團隊的成員將隨時為員工和客戶提供技術支援和培訓，解決與 Dash 和 X-PayCash 相關的任何問題。預計到 2019 年底，該計劃將覆蓋整個連鎖店 22 家。

Cinthya Sagues, General Manager at Farmarket, hailed the partnership as a testament to the company's commitment to innovation. She stated, "Innovation supports our core values of serving clients, growth, and system development, so being able to offer Dash through XpayCash will allow us to offer the most updated payments technology on the market."

Migros Taps TE-Food for Supply Chain Traceability

Migros 利用 TE-Food 實現供應鏈可追溯性

Switzerland's largest retailer, Migros, has partnered with TE-Food to leverage its blockchain-based traceability system for its fresh fruit and vegetable supply chains. This initiative demonstrates Migros' commitment to optimizing supply chain efficiency and reducing food waste.

瑞士最大的零售商 Migros 與 TE-Food 合作，將其基於區塊鏈的可追溯系統用於其新鮮水果和蔬菜供應鏈。這項措施體現了 Migros 對優化供應鏈效率和減少食品浪費的承諾。

Previously, fresh food suppliers communicated traceability data to Migros via a GS1 standards-based API (EPCIS). TE-Food has expanded this system by introducing a B2B mobile app, a web app, and file uploads. The system is currently reserved for internal use, with no immediate plans to involve consumers.

先前，生鮮食品供應商透過基於 GS1 標準的 API (EPCIS) 向 Migros 傳達可追溯性數據。 TE-Food 透過引入 B2B 行動應用程式、網路應用程式和檔案上傳功能擴展了該系統。該系統目前保留供內部使用，沒有立即計劃讓消費者參與。

"Although a growing number of food companies are launching traceability projects, many of them focus only on the marketing advantages by providing transparent food information to their consumers," said Migros in a press release. "However, food traceability can provide more value from easier product recalls to improved supply chain control."

米格羅斯在一份新聞稿中表示：“儘管越來越多的食品公司正在啟動可追溯性項目，但其中許多公司只注重通過向消費者提供透明的食品信息來獲得營銷優勢。” “然而，食品可追溯性可以提供更多價值，從更容易的產品召回到改進的供應鏈控制。”

"Migros wants to achieve deeper supply chain insight to optimize its processes. Supply chain optimization can lead to quicker distribution and reduced food waste, which is also part of the European Food Safety Authority's (EFSA) initiatives for the next years."

“Migros 希望獲得更深入的供應鏈洞察，以優化其流程。供應鏈優化可以加快配送速度並減少食品浪費，這也是歐洲食品安全局 (EFSA) 未來幾年舉措的一部分。”
