KUALA LUMPUR – Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi wants Felcra Bhd to formulate a Transformation 3.0 plan to help improve the country’s food security and reduce its dependency on imports.

Zahid, who is also the Rural and Regional Development Minister, said the transformation plan should be formulated as soon as possible encompassing three main elements which are social responsibility, commercial value, and achieving food security.

“Come and see me so that I can be a facilitator to empower the programmes that will be formulated.

“We have at least four years to implement this transformation in which we focus on food sufficiency and production,” he said at a press conference here today.

Earlier, he was given a briefing by the Felcra Bhd chief executive officer Datuk Mat Roni Zakaria, who touched on the implementation of Felcra’s Transformation 1.0 and 2.0 plans, in addition to its business model and main issues. – Bernama, January 19, 2023
