PUTRAJAYA, May 15 (Bernama) -- Malaysia sees the United States (US) as a key partner in developing a modern and sustainable agricultural sector to address global challenges including climate change, supply chain disruptions and geopolitical uncertainties.
The Minister of Agriculture and Food Security Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu highlighted the matter when he received a courtesy call from the president and CEO of the US-ASEAN Business Council (USABC), Ambassador (Retired) Brian D. McFeeters, along with the council's delegation, yesterday.
According to a statement from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (KPKM) today, Mohamad said Malaysia also intends to increase cooperation and investment with the US in the padi and ruminant sectors, in addition to large-scale cultivation of corn to support the domestic animal feed industry.
"The dialogue session focused on three main issues, namely regenerative agriculture, fertilizer supply and the direction of the Malaysian agricultural sector," the statement said.
According to KPKM, Mohamad also invited the USABC delegation to participate in the 2026 Agriculture, Horticulture and Agro-Tourism Exhibition (MAHA) scheduled for August 28 to September 6.
