(Saratok, 27th) Kalaka State Assemblyman Mohamad Duri expressed that he holds high hopes for the efforts to develop agriculture and food industries in Kampung Kaba, believing this will serve as a key catalyst in driving local food security.
He pointed out that with the increasing global population demands and current life challenges, the issue of food security has become increasingly urgent.
He said: “In this regard, the Kampung Kaba Community Cooperative is currently actively engaged in chicken, duck, and goat farming, as well as the planting of cash crops and oil palm. It is hoped these can be implemented in a well-planned and effective manner.”
“At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen the animal feed processing industry based on local raw materials, for example by utilizing resources such as nipa palm leaves, sago, napier grass, straw, and corn.”
He made these remarks during an interview on Thursday (March 26) when accompanying Martin Ben for a working visit to the Kampung Kaba Livestock Feed Station project site.
He added that the community initiative led by village chief Ahmad Diwi Deli is commendable, as Kampung Kaba has been selected as the implementation site for one of the major projects in the Kalaka constituency.
Mohamad Duri also hopes that all planned efforts will continue to receive strong government support to ensure comprehensive implementation.
Earlier, Borneo Institute of Sustainable Feed and Agriculture Industry (BISFA) Director Muhammad Norhelmi Ahmad also gave a briefing, stating that the region holds great potential to develop the livestock feed industry based on local resources.
