Speaking at the event, the First Lady remarked that the launch of the logo will provide people working from home with opportunities to expand their businesses, particularly those owned by women. She also highlighted that the logo aims to ensure food security and increase public confidence in safety by adhering to the Maldives Food and Drug Authority (MFDA)'s standards.
