Negri Sembilan to produce MILLIONAIRE FARMERS

Negri Sembilan to produce MILLIONAIRE FARMERS
Negri Sembilan aims to produce at least seven agriculture and agro-based industry millionaires in the next five years.
State Agriculture and Agro-based Industry committee chairman Datuk Hasim Rusdi said the aim is in line with the plan to turn the state into the main food producer for the Klang Valley.
"Those involved in the agriculture and agro-based industry need to work harder to transform this sector into a lucrative business venture,” he said after officiating the Seremban PPK Annual General Meeting here today.
"Area Farmers' Organisation (PPK) must act together to share ideas and energy so that we would be able to produce millionaires in this sector, at least each from the seven districts of the state in the next four or five years.”
Hasim said he will personally put the aim as his key performance index (KPI) target during his tenure as a State exco member in charge of the sector.
He reminded breeders, farmers and ranchers not to lose their focus and be consistent with production of their produce to maximise profits from their farms.
Hasim gave an example of how an "udang galah" breeder in Sendayan earned a monthly average of between RM800,000 and RM900,000 by shipping the exotic fresh water prawn to Singapore.
"Nothing is impossible. An "udang galah" breeder can become a millionaire with the right breeding technique and a good business strategy. Agriculture is indeed a lucrative business," he said.
Hasim also called on youths to join the existing 11 PPK in the state to take over from the ageing members.
At the function, he handed over management grant to the 11 PPK and RM8,323.47 of business tithe collection to the Pusat Zakat Negeri Sembilan.
