KUCHING: A courtesy call and a dialogue session were held between the Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Sarawak (ACCCIS) and the Ministry of Food Industry, Commodity and Regional Development Sarawak (M-FICORD).

ACCCIS delegation was led by its president Datuk Tan Jit Kee. The delegation was received by Dr Gluma Saban, who is head of Policy and Development Division of M-FICORD.

Tan said that it was a positive and productive dialogue with M-FICORD with various issues covered.

“Amongst the issues discussed included Smart Farming, Animal Feeds using Oil Palm waste, Edible bird nest and Development of young agro- entrepreneurs,” he said this in a statement recently.

Dr Gluma stated that M-FICORD and ACCCIS would look into joint working groups to explore collaboration on above areas. He added that this dialogue is a good follow-up to the last meeting with Minister of M-FICORD Datuk Seri Dr Stephen Rundi Utom by ACCCIS and West Malaysia agro-entrepreneurs group.
