PID profile (Producer identity), which serves to standardize information about the producer and the crops he grows.

Encouraged by the events in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, which closed markets, VeeMee developed a Digital Marketplace on its website to make it easier for customers to connect with food delivery farmers and distinguish them from those who do not or cannot provide this option. It currently has 127 manufacturers-suppliers.
