MINISTER of Primary Resources and Tourism Dato Seri Setia Awang Haji Ali bin Haji Apong yesterday visited seven Agriculture Development Areas (KKP), existing farms (LSA) and wood manufacturing sites at Mukim Labi and Sungai Liang.
Legislative Council members YB Haji Umarali bin Esung, YB Haji Abdul Hamid bin Haji Mumin and YB Hanapi bin Mohd Siput, as well as officials from the Ministry of Primary Resources and Tourism (MPRT) accompanied the minister on the work visit to Syarikat Usaha Tani Deli Duman, Golden Chick Livestock Farm, Syarikat Kilang Papan Maju Sdn Bhd, Syarikat Kanglin Hydroponic Farming, Syarikat Brugoat Farming and Trading Sdn Bhd, Syarikat Wong Garden and Asia Enterprise Agri-Mart Sdn Bhd.
The visit enlightened the minister on the progress notched in the fields of agriculture, fishery and forestry in the areas of Mukim Labi and Sungai Liang. At the same time, it helped identify the issues faced by these establishments in terms of being an economic resource for the nation.
The minister observed the products offered by each company, as he toured the establishments alongside the owners.
One of the primary objectives of the work visit was to observe the establishments’ capabilities in contributing towards national economy by means of exportation.
Speaking to the Sunday Bulletin, Syarikat Brugoat Farming and Trading Sdn Bhd Director Hajah Rohzemah binti Haji Ismail noted that the company has been steadily expanding its facilities to provide goats and sheep to the local market, and hopefully, overseas eventually.
It was established in 2015 with only four open-sided sheds, and 1,200 Boer goats and Dorper sheeps imported from Australia.
