FOR ENQUIRIES: MAPPS considers this topic a CALL OF URGENCY! We are running short of talent and motivated people in the agriculture sector. The agriculture industry is as old as mankind and has played an important role in the economic development of Malaysia. Continous effort to produce and develop human capital in the agriculture sector to transform Malaysia as Education hub for the agriculture is strategic for the country. Through the current Government Economic Transformation Program, such on-going task shall involve all the stakeholders to take part for the benefits of the nation. There is indeed a necessity for everyone to develop strength and competitiveness through the new approaches in human capital training programs that revolutionizes education. Academic institutions must also leverage on other stakeholders of agriculture industry either from the private companies, multinational organizations and government to bring success to their academic outcomes.
