KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is optimistic that Malaysia’s agricultural landscape will undergo a major transformation within the next one or two years.
He said this confidence stems from the notable progress and advancements made by the Agriculture and Food Security Ministry (KPKM) under the leadership of its minister, Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu.
"If the current momentum of progress at KPKM, including its focus on durian cultivation and other key areas, continues, I am confident we will see significant changes in our agricultural landscape within one or two years.
"Therefore, I urge all agencies, including MARDI (Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute), the Agriculture Department and the Fisheries Department, to view this as a challenge,” he said in his speech when officiating the opening of the Malaysia Agriculture, Horticulture and Agrotourism Exhibition (MAHA) 2024 held at the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park (MAEPS) in Serdang near here Saturday (Sept 14).
Also present were Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar, Mohamad and his deputy, Datuk Arthur Joseph Kurup.
