Chinese Investors Offer Modern Agriculture Technology

KOTA BAHARU, Dec 28 (Bernama) -- Two investors from China today offered to share modern agricultural technology to increase the production of rice in Kelantan in tandem with the government's aim to increase the income of padi farmers.

Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat said the investors also offered consultation services to ensure that the farmers reach production targets.

"They are offering technology in fertiliser and seed production, of which both could increase rice production in Kelantan," he said after receiving a visit from the Chinese investors at his office, here Sunday.

Nik Aziz said the state government wass willing to accept suggestions from both the investors on the condition that they see results as promised.

Meanwhile, the group's leader, Beijing Good To Great Investment Co. Ltd president, Qiao Li, said they viewed the proposal made by the Menteri Besar seriously because Kelantan had potential in the agriculture industry.
