Deputy Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Arthur Joseph Kurup checking the site during the groundbreaking ceremony of the Coffee House and Café Coffeelive in Nabawan on Tuesday .
The announcement came as part of a strategic initiative to promote downstream processing and increase the production and value of coffee grown in the region. “The coffee industry in Sabah has vast untapped potential, and with the support of the Agriculture and Food Security Ministry, we aim to make Nabawan and Sook key players in Malaysia’s coffee scene,” said Kurup, who officiated the groundbreaking ceremony for the new facilities on Tuesday .
Currently, only 1,434.2 ha of land are cultivated with coffee, yielding a modest 936.1 tonnes annually. This, in turn, will open doors for local farmers to tap into the lucrative export market, allowing Sabah’s coffee to be enjoyed beyond local borders.“By supporting the establishment of processing facilities, we aim to increase the profitability for farmers and provide job opportunities for the community, especially the youth,” Kurup added.
