Bumis’ potential to control food market untapped

IT’S OFFICIAL: Naroden beats the gong to close the ‘Nangka Bumiputera Economy Convention 2012’. Also seen are Temenggong Datuk Wan Hamid (second left) and Dr Annuar (right).

Assistant Minister in the Chief Minister’s Department (Bumiputera Entrepreneur Development) Datuk Mohd Naroden Majais said Bumiputeras make up nearly 70 per cent of the state’s 2.5 million people, and most of them have land of various sizes.

“If we make good use of the land for agricultural activities such as planting vegetables, chillies, tomatoes, paddy or herbs, Bumiputeras in Sarawak can control the food industry,” he said at the closing ceremony of `Nangka Bumiputera Economy Convention 2012’ here yesterday.

Among those present were Malay paramount leader Temenggong Datuk Wan Hamid Edruce, Nangka assemblyman Dr Annuar Rapaee and Sarawak Orphanage Welfare Board Sibu branch chairman Hamden Merais.

Naroden said every year the country imported food totalling some RM2 billion.

“If Sarawak can produce and control food manufacturing by ourselves, the import of food into the state can be reduced.

“We can also export food, especially halal food, to Peninsular Malaysia or overseas.”

Naroden said there were about six billion Muslims in the world, and the global population continued to expand.

“All the people worldwide need food, and the food needed by Muslims, which totalled six billion, must be halal.

“People who are not Muslims also eat halal food because they are clean and of higher quality.”

On entrepreneurship, Naroden said this field was very challenging and risky. However, he said, one would become rich if the business was managed correctly and enjoyed a bit of luck.

“If we want to be a successful entrepreneur, we have to make enough self preparation and be equipped with the right knowledge, techniques and business acumen.

“Actually, the business world is very interesting and enjoyable. If we can go through the many barriers and challenges, we will definitely succeed.”
