Youth participation in agriculture still low 19 Dec 2020 / 19:01 H.
LIPIS: The involvement of youth in agriculture in the country is still low, at only 240,000 people or 15 per cent of the total farmers in Malaysia.
Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food Industries I Datuk Seri Ahmad Hamzah
(pix) said that one of the contributing factors that caused young people to be less interested in agriculture was the perception that the sector did not bring lucrative returns.
“This is not true because the agriculture, livestock and fisheries industries can bring encouraging results when implemented diligently with sufficient knowledge.
“To change this misconception, we are organising the Young Agropreneur Tour, including in Pahang, to provide information, including assistance to those who are serious about venturing into the sector,” he said.
