The Exposure Programme for Youths Who Have the Potential to Venture into the High-Tech Agricultural Field can help youths to fully focus on the field of agriculture as it can be turned into a profitable business. The system's use can increase agricultural output if carried out diligently. The Launching ceremony of the 8th Exposure Programme for Youths Who Have the Potential to Venture into the High-Tech Agricultural Field was held yesterday morning.

Awang Mat Rusli bin Haji Abu Bakar, Acting Head of the Plant Industry Division said that the programme is one of the Ministry of Primary Resources and Tourism's initiatives to support the Strategic Plan of the Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food 2021/2030 towards increasing the involvement of youth in the agricultural sector.
