Ftslr X Cecube claimed the third spot, while Extraordinary 7 came in fourth place. They received prizes of RM500 and RM400, along with a trophy and a certificate.
At the same event, lucky draws featuring up to RM10,000 worth of prizes were also held.
The prizes were presented by Farmers Organisation Authority (LPP) deputy director-general (operations) Nik Mohd Shaharil Nik Md Hashim, NEKMAT general manager Azrin Shah Ismail and NAFAS deputy general manager Saripol Baharin Karim.
Meanwhile, Nik Mohd Shaharil told reporters that the e-sports tournament had achieved its goal by attracting a large number of youths to HPPNK 2023.
“Perhaps before this, many young people were not familiar with NAFAS or NEKMAT or even the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, so we try to bring a difference by introducing these entities through e-sports,” he said.
Various activities and events were held during the three-day HPPNK 2023 in Perak, which focused on four main segments, namely Agro Millenia, Agro Technology and Innovation, Sejahtera MADANI and Agro MADANI.-Bernama
