Niaga SPOTLIGHT | Agri-Tech: Malaysia's Strategic Pivot to Food Sovereignty

Niaga SPOTLIGHT | Agri-Tech: Malaysia's Strategic Pivot to Food Sovereignty

In Malaysia, a surprisingly small portion of agricultural land is dedicated to food production. Approximately 1.2 million hectares only are used for food crops, while the majority is used for oil palm (71.4%) and rubber (11.9%)

In such a scenario, it’s essential to pivot Malaysia’s food sovereignty via AgriTech.

NIAGA SPOTLIGHT features Dr Jay Desan, Co-Founder, BoomGrow and Chef Norazizi bin Taslim, Executive Chef, discussing BoomGrow - a homegrown AgriTech startup at the forefront of this transformation, via 5G-enabled, AI-powered vertical farms across Malaysia.
