KUCHING: Transformation in the agriculture sector, in line with the industry revolution 4.0, is very much needed for Sarawak to close the economic gap between its rural and urban communities.

Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas said agriculture remained the main economic activity for the majority of the rural people with about 215,000 farming families across the state.
