next stop was the Department of
Cosmeceutlcal Products ln S|P|M

a government owned corporate orga-
nlzatlon under the Mlnlstery of
Plnance |ncorporated.
Prom the lndustrlal vlslt, the
students were exposed on lssues asso-
clated wlth the development of new
product. Hlghllghts such as world
cllmate uncertalnty, lncreaslng human
populatlon, llmlted land for agrlcul-
tural purposes and competltlon
between crops for consumptlon or
lndustrlal use are lssues that should be
looked lnto serlously. w|th the
lncreaselng demand for food, lead to
lnnovatlon and motlvatlon to produce
more food from llmlted resources.

utlllse lts resources to be depen-

resources such as land, entrepre-
neurs should see thls sltuatlon as
an opportunlty to cater to the local
demand of raw materlals for both
food and the lndustry.
Another lssue of great
lnterest ls the trend on organlc

Another fast growlng
lndustry ln Malaysla ls the cosmetlc

mlddle lncome populatlon and
access to lnformatlon, demand for
