KUCHING: Ahmad Tarmizi Ahmad Sarbini emerged as the grand winner of Agrotech Heroes, Sarawak’s reality television exploring the world of modern agriculture and agrotechnology.
Ahmad, who is a manager of Sj Farm, took home a prize of RM10,000 sponsored by Aerodyne, a leading global drone service company.
With 10 years of experience in modern agriculture, he said he will use the prize to expand his business.
“Specifically to improve the quality of my crops, including geronong chili, lettuce, large chili, and mint. And I hope this achievement inspires other young people to venture into modern agriculture,” he said.
Agrotech Heroes, which began on July 28 to Oct 27, followed the journey of six ‘heroes’ showcasing their talent and dedication in modern agriculture, inspiring the Sarawakians’ youth to explore the industry.
Agrotech Heroes was designed not only to find icons of modern agriculture but also to promote youth participation in the agro-sector, in line with national food security needs and the Post Covid-19 Development Strategy 2030 (PCDS2030).
The programme focused on the potential of agrotechnology and entrepreneurship, igniting the passion of the youth to view agriculture as a modern, competitive career of the future.
Six contestants from diverse backgrounds faced various challenges testing their physical, mental, and social strengths through team and individual activities.
The programme is the result of collaboration between Moteevasi Media Sdn Bhd and Koperasi Belia Inovasi Sarawak, supported by TVS, with the aim of continuing to a second season of Agrotech Heroes to keep inspiring the youth in the modern agro-industry.
Agrotech Heroes is not just a reality show, it is also an essential platform for building the future of modern agriculture in Sarawak, strengthening national food security, and raising new icons in a competitive agricultural industry.
