The ASAE inspector general rejects that the organization is being exploited, as described by the trade association. To TSF, Pedro Portugal Gaspar, denies that ASAE is at the service of the Government, at a time when a large operation was launched to understand the impact of speculation on the prices of food products.
“Instrumentalize only if it is to respond to the needs of the population. It is an issue that is on the agenda and that ASAE has to comment on. It is a new challenge, in fact, the circumstances are new for society in terms of going back 30 years, it is a learning experience for the institution itself, given the legislative context that is somewhat complex here and also the complexity of the market and the supply chain. value,” says the inspector general.
“Here what matters, here I do not see any instrumentalization, it does not make sense of the Government,” he adds.
Pedro Portugal Gaspar admits that ASAE has had “a very large deficit in the computer park” and, to make up for the lack of means, positions will be opened for the reinforcement of the inspection body.
“This Saturday there will be competition tests for a reinforcement of 15 more inspectors. This is a dynamic process, it is obvious that more resources are always wanted. Another important issue for the future of the organization is digital commerce and there are more bets. on information technologies and artificial intelligence”, in order to be able to combine physical inspection, on the ground, and digital inspection, at a distance.
However, Pedro Gaspar Portugal guarantees that, “in terms of the mission and the fulfillment of the objectives, ASAE has provided the answers.”
