KANGAR, Sept 9 (Bernama) -- Perlis Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (FAMA) aims to achieve between RM200,000 and RM250,000 in sales from 47 products by state entrepreneurs at the Malaysian Agriculture, Horticulture and Agro-Tourism Exhibition (MAHA) 2024.
Its director Mohd Anzara Azizan said 10 entrepreneurs, guided by Perlis FAMA, will participate this year. The group includes five from the Basic Agricultural Food Industry (IMAT) and five from the Popular Food sector.
"Looking back at the last event two years ago, the 10 entrepreneurs we supported achieved nearly RM150,000 in sales. We are hopeful that this year’s sales will reach between RM200,000 and RM250,000," he told a press conference here today.
Mohd Anzara also added that the 47 products from Perlis entrepreneurs featured at MAHA 2024 have increased from 30 products at the 2022 exhibition.
He said MAHA 2024 will showcase downstream products made from Harumanis mangoes, which are expected to draw visitors to Perlis to experience this seasonal fruit, adding that this aligns with the Visit Perlis Year 2024-2025 campaign.
"The products we are presenting, including Harumanis mango jam, aim to create early awareness and attract visitors to enjoy the fresh fruit in Perlis next year," he said.
MAHA is held biennially, with MAHA 2024 scheduled from Sept 11 to Sept 22 at the Malaysian Agriculture Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS), Selangor.
