At the modernized farmers' markets, residents are now able to track and trace every bit of information about the produce they are buying – from where it was grown to how fresh it is, all via scanning QR codes on packaging. This internet system improved food safety and increased government efficiency resulting in reduced costs for watchdogs.

The government has made the most of the internet to provide quality, efficient and convenient services. Internet administrative procedures and materials are now available to companies and residents. An online administrative approval system was also opened to handle most administrative approvals over the internet.
