State agrotechnology, food security and cooperative development committee chairman Fahmi Zainol said the state is collaborating with the Malaysian Pineapple Industry Board to introduce an organic pineapple project with an urban farming concept.
“This is the first of its kind in Malaysia that allows organic pineapples to be grown in urban areas, residential zones, high-rise buildings and using plant bags,” he said in his winding-up speech in support of the Supply Bill at the state legislative assembly today.
He said the project promotes high-value premium crops to meet the growing market demand and using a futuristic approach, it meant that these pineapples will not be grown in only conventional farmland.
He said urban farming, using vertical farming technology, is now a modern approach to increase food production in urban areas with limited land.
“This is achieved through high-intensity vertical cultivation systems driven by automation and centralised control,” he said.
He said it is suitable for existing buildings such as warehouses, offices, shop lots, and even portable containers.
