Youth can bring a lot to the agriculture table, says expert


JOHOR BARU: Interest in agriculture among the youth is growing, but they lack the guidance needed to be involved in this sector, says the Federation of Malaysian Fruit Farmers Association.

Efforts must be made to gain their interest as youths can bring fresh ideas to the table and are more open to adopting technology such as artificial intelligence in agriculture, said association president Datuk Lawrence Ting Siew Haw.
