Its minister Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan said the seminars would also inform participants of the various opportunities in the agricultural and fisheries sectors based on the participants’ capabilities and interests.
“I am confident that as more people are going into agriculture and our rural farmers adopt modern and smart farming practices, they will be able to contribute more significantly towards our self-sufficiency level ,” he added. He said Sabah would be able to increase the output of its food industry while the introduction of advanced technologies would also create new jobs that the state did not previously have.
He believed that people at the grassroots level were eager and interested to find ways to improve their output.
