A BRIEFING entitled ‘Agricultural Fertigation System’ was held at the Dewan Ta’limf of Religious Teachers University College of Seri Begawan (KUPU SB) on Saturday.

The briefing, organised by the Nadi Pertanian section of the college as an accompaniment to its ‘Agricultural Fertigation System’ project (participated by 41 undergraduates of the college), aimed to provide encouragement for the college’s undergraduates to enter into the world of agricultural entrepreneurship.

Facilitated by Manager of Syarikat Ameenfarm Haji Irwandi bin Haji Lois the briefing saw the students being introduced to practical agricultural concepts – including modern agricultural systems and fertigation – as well as agricultural issues, through an Islamic perspective.

The undergraduates will also undergo a practical session on fertigation techniques at the Brunei Agriculture Research Centre in Kampong Tanjung Bunut, Kilanas.

The Agricultural Fertigation System project is a result of His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien Sa’adul Khairi Waddien, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam’s vision for Brunei to increase its use of modern agricultural systems to enhance its agricultural output and revenue, and to encourage more citizens to take up agricultural entrepreneurship as a means to reduce the country’s unemployment rate.
