AS Malaysia celebrates its independence, we must not forget about the history of trade and industry development in our nation. Agriculture has constantly been one of the major contributors of economic growth in Malaysia and Agrobank is proud to be a part of the national progression for the past 47 years.

Agrobank, formerly known as Bank Pertanian Malaysia, is a government-owned bank established in 1969. By 1980, Bank Pertanian Malaysia has emerged as the largest credit service provider to the rural agriculture sector.
