The country will be implementing additional efforts and programs to motivate the young people to join the agro-food sector.
Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu, the Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, mentioned that the National Farmers, Breeders and Fisherman’s Day will introduce four new concepts in order to achieve this.
These four new concepts are Agro Millennial, Agro Tech and Innovation, Sejahtera Madani and Agro Madani.
During his opening speech at HPPNK at Bulatan Sultan Azlan Shah, Mohamad stated, “Under Agro Millennial, we will offer job opportunities and education in the agriculture sector, sharing the success of young people.”
He also mentioned that “Agro Tech and Innovation offers high-end agro tech, agriculture innovation, animal husbandry, fisheries, internet of things (IOT) and agricultural sustainability including segments in climate change and food waste.”
Mohamad also emphasized that the Sejahtera Madani will focus on six main segments including various programs and activities with farmers and fishermen.
The last concept, Agro Madani, will prioritize on a variety of agricultural sales products, agro-based industries, and floriculture,” he said.
