ROMPIN, Oct 19 — A local company, Berezki Enterprise, has established cooperation with 60 smallholders in Kampung Merchong, Pekan, near here, for the growing of kenaf to increase output in meeting the high demand for its fibre in the local and international markets.
He said this initiative was to take the smallholders to a higher level economically as currently, kenaf was still being grown on a small scale.“We view growing of kenaf collectively as more effective than doing it individually as it is more organised, easier to manage and saves costs towards gaining maximum returns,” he said, here, yesterday.
“The kenaf industry is a big one and I hope for full support from the government for us and the smallholders involved. Currently, they are just sending the raw product to the Kenaf Processing Centre in Tebu Hitam, here, to be turned into fibre. Who knows that one day, we can come up with our own products from kenaf,” he added.
“It’s difficult to go far in this industry if the venture is undertaken individually as there are various constraints involving land, capital and technology. But with the cooperation of the private sector and assistance from the government, it will be easier to achieve success.
