Fama to upgrade 15 business areas in Sarawak: agriculture minister

KUCHING – The Agriculture and Food Industries Ministry, through the Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (Fama), will upgrade 15 business areas in Sarawak.

Its minister Datuk Seri Ronald Kiandee said the upgrading works involved an allocation of RM7 million under the 12th Malaysia Plan, adding that the effort was hoped to provide comfort to traders and visitors.

“Fama will continue to help improve business facilities and structures throughout the country, including in Sarawak.
