#Repost @agro_malaysia Modern farming project to boost agriculture in the main southern development corridor in #Johor - #IskandarMalaysia and 3 locations had been identified, #Kulai #PasirGudang and #Pontian The project would focus on plantations of vegetables with shorter growing cycles and high demand such as cucumber, tomatoes, lettuce and rock melon. This modern farming project investment is a positive sign that Iskandar Malaysia is still maintaining investor confidence and will continue to encourage other investors to explore the region as an ideal platform to invest and grow agro businesses and operations, during the #COVID19 #MCOperiod Instead of requiring a large tract of land, the vertical farming method would be used in Iskandar Malaysia. The way forward for us is to modernise farming activities in Iskandar Malaysia to bring high yield and better returns to our farmers and reduce our dependence on food imports. Modern farming will be the new sector in Iskandar Malaysia from the existing nine promoted sectors which include food and agro-based products. Another option, in developing modern farming, was to engage with existing smallholders to form a consortium to produce food based products for the domestic and export markets. #AgroMalaysia is keen to attract and encourage youths, including those in the urban areas and young entrepreneurs to take up modern farming. The agriculture sector, regardless of the conventional or modern farming methods, remained relevant in the economic corridor for food security and to reduce currency outflow on imported food. #OurFoodOurFuture #FoodTech #FoodIndustry #FoodBusiness #FoodSecurity #FoodTrade #FoodForAll #OurLocalFood #MalaysianFoodBusiness #FoodUnites #FoodUnitesEveryone #AgendaPemerkasaanUsahawanAgroMalaysia #IndustriMakanan
