Sabah First To Host Farmers’ Carnival

Kota Kinabalu: The National Farmers’ Organisation (Nafas) has chosen Sabah as the first State to launch its new products at the Malaysia Farmers’ Carnival.

Its Deputy Chairman Datuk Mohd Nazri Abdullah said the carnival which will be held annually in other states on a rotation basis was aimed at uniting the organisation’s members nationwide, besides introducing the Nafas line of new products.

He said the carnival in Sabah, which started on Sunday, will continue until July 25 at Dataran Begandang, Beaufort.

“Among activities conducted at the carnival are fiesta, exhibition, community programmes in several locations such as Dewan Pak Musa, Kampung Lubuk in Weston and Kampung Luagan, besides in Dataran Begandang,” he said.

He said during the carnival, the promotion of maize planting would also be held to encourage members of the organisation and members of the public who have idle land in rural areas, to be involved in maize planting.

“Nafas through the Regional Farmers Association (PPK) will encourage farmers to plant maize through maize seeds provided by Nafas,” he said.
