Sri Aman has the potential to become the national egg production base

(Sri Aman, 13th) Residents of the Sri Aman area are urged to participate in the egg chicken farming industry on a large scale through the cooperative model to increase household income and strengthen the local economy.
Member of Parliament for Sri Aman, Dato Sri Doris Sophia Brodie, stated that intensive farming can not only meet the state's demand for eggs but also has the potential to become a national supplier.
"Through the cooperative model, residents can collaborate to share knowledge and manage farming costs more efficiently. This initiative can also establish an egg production center in Sarawak, especially in Sri Aman," she said.
She made the remarks last Friday during the closing ceremony of the "Cooperative Participation in Egg Chicken Farming Project Potential Seminar" organized by the Malaysian Cooperative Institute (IKMa) Sarawak Region at Kampung Tuba's Wong Bang Long House.
Doris pointed out that Sri Aman has been designated as an agricultural center and must be fully utilized to ensure national food security.
"Our country cannot continue to rely on imports. At least we need to have our own egg chicken and broiler suppliers in Sri Aman," she added.
She also praised IKMa's efforts to go to rural areas to provide knowledge related to egg chicken farming to residents, especially for the Kampung Tuba Cooperative (KKTSB).
"This is the best opportunity for cooperative members to learn from farming experts. Egg chicken farming can generate income through eggs and provide chicken meat revenue once the chickens mature," she said.

Doris hopes Kampung Tuba through KKTSB will become a production center for eggs and chicken in the future.
She also urged all cooperative members to continue to improve themselves and become role models for communities not yet involved in cooperatives.
KKTSB Chairman, Dr. Tamoi Jangku, stated that the event is one of the initiatives by University of Technology MARA (UiTM) and cooperatives to increase community income, focusing on providing training, knowledge transfer, and business and employment opportunities.
"Such programs are very beneficial to rural residents wishing to participate in the field of egg chicken farming and also open up new business opportunities for them," he said.
The event attracted about 250 participants, including cooperative members and residents from surrounding villages such as Kampung Menuan, Kampung Langgir, Kampung Mentu, Kampung Moudin, Kampung Pulai, Kampung Ibo, and Kampung Suba.
