KUCHING, June 28: i-CATS University College has secured a RM500,000 Agriculture Facilitation Fund (AFF) from the Sarawak Land Development Board (SLDB) for their i-CATS UC Agrotech Hub located in Kaba, Saratok.

According to a press statement today, the i-CATS UC Agrotech Hub is a collaborative pilot project between i-CATS UC and the Koperasi Kampung Kaba.

The initiative focuses on processing sago fronds into silage, providing a sustainable and nutritious feed option for the ruminants owned by the Koperasi.

“Kaba was strategically selected for this project due to its abundant sago palms and the established operations of the Koperasi, driven by local community efforts,” the statement read.

i-CATS University College aims to replicate this successful model in other areas. Preliminary discussions have already been held with District Officers of Lubuk Antu and Gedong to explore the potential of local crops for similar purposes. — DayakDaily
