KUCHING: Sarawak aims to increase farmers' income and alleviate poverty by diversifying their income streams through agrotourism and exploring related business opportunities, says Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg.

He said agrotourism played a significant role in the Sarawak post-Covid-19 development strategy (PCDS 2030), which focused on social inclusivity and driving economic and social benefits for all Sarawakians.
