Agri Ministry to continue training programme: Dr Daud

SANDAKAN: The State Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry through the Sandakan Polytechnic Sabah (PSS) will continue to promote training programmes to produce competent youths and entrepreneurs in various fields.

Assistant Minister to the Sabah Minister of Agriculture and Industry, Dr Daud Yusof, said the effort was not only important to meet the demand of skilled workers from the public and private sectors but also to generate potential entrepreneurs in agriculture.

“The agricultural resources in the state had the potential to be developed to a higher level in future. At the same time, there are a number of major sources of agriculture including land and fisheries that had not been fully explored.

“Therefore, efforts to improve the efficiency and productivity of the agricultural sector should continue to enable the sector to compete internationally.
