Business Opportunities
There are 11 Business Opportunities (BOs) identified under NKEA
Agriculture to generate RM 2.8 billion of GNI in 2020 and creating
14,840 jobs.
To date, the Ministry of Agriculture has yet to transform the
BOs into EPPs as the focus for the first year is on the successful
implementation of the 16 EPPs.
Business Opportunity 1 : Nutraceutical Products
Business Opportunity 2 : Foreign Distributor
Business Opportunity 3 : Ornamental Fish Farming
Business Opportunity 4 : Aquaculture Feed Mill
enablers
The ETP listed five key enablers to support the implementation of
the EPPs and BOs:
1. Provide incentives for anchor companies
2. Strengthen the adoption of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP)
and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) to enhance market
access
3. Change regulations and policies
4. Strengthen logistics infrastructure
5. Ensure sufficient pipeline of human capital
