WITH constant demand for the fast-growing red tilapia, the species has been chosen for a farming project by the People’s Income Initiative-Agro Entrepreneur (IPR-Intan) programme at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM).
UPM Agriculture Faculty senior lecturer Dr Fadhil Syukri said that the first group of five IPR-Intan participants have been nurturing the fish in cages since December last year.
