MELAKA Nov 28 — The Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute has commercialised about 17 per cent or 57 of the 338 technologies it generated to 40 companies during the 11th Malaysia Plan .
“One of the platforms created to realise this is through the Agroinvest Programme which has been implemented since 2016,” he told reporters after officiating the Mardi 2021 Agroinvest Programme, themed ‘Evolution of Healthy Eating for Malaysian Families’ here today. “As a result, every year Mardi gets an average return of more than RM1.4 million through licensing fees, management, direct sales and consultancy services,” he added.
