KOTA KINABALU: Tomato farmers at the foothills of Mount Kinabalu – Kundasang – have been taught ways to diversify their products for a bigger market following an oversupply of produce due to the movement control order (MCO).

This was made possible by a team of experts from Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) who conducted a demonstration of processing, bottling and packaging of tomato products recently.
