PKPS LAUNCHES SEED2030 STRATEGIC PLAN TO STRENGTHEN SELANGOR'S FOOD SECURITY

SHAH ALAM, Jan 26 (Bernama) -- The Selangor Agricultural Development Corporation (PKPS) has launched the 2026-2030 Agribusiness Transformation Plan (SEED2030), a five-year strategic blueprint aimed at strengthening its role in the state’s food security agenda.

Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said SEED2030 aims to increase production and enhance the agricultural ecosystem in the state, focusing on sectors such as oil palm, poultry, dairy, Selangor Fruit Valley (SFV), and Ehsan products.

“The transformation plan will be implemented through supply chain control, sustainable development, and community empowerment to achieve the set targets,” he told a press conference after the launch of SEED2030 at Wisma PKPS here.

Also present was PKPS Group chief executive officer Datuk Dr Mohamad Khairil Mohamad Razi.

SEED2030 targets a 64.95 per cent increase in oil palm production, reaching 735,000 tonnes compared to 445,000 tonnes in the 2021–2025 period. The poultry sector aims a production of 20.1 million chickens, an increase from the previous 6.31 million.

 Amirudin also highlighted the Ehsan Dairy Farm project, set to launch in March in Bukit Tagar, with a daily production target of 32,850 litres. For SFV, a 22 per cent increase in visitors is expected, from 400,000 to 500,000.

He added that for its Ehsan brand products, PKPS aims to expand into Middle Eastern and European markets by 2030 with the introduction of 98 products, up from the current two products - cottonseed and sunflower oils, that have already entered the Australian market.

Amirudin also anticipates that PKPS will generate an annual income of between RM400 million and RM500 million, compared to its current revenue of around RM200 million, taking into account market fluctuations that can impact prices. 

“We cannot act reactively, we need to move forward as an entity with a well-planned strategy," he said.

Meanwhile, Mohamad Khairil said SEED2030 will be implemented based on five strategic pillars: strengthening and sustaining the organisation, increasing productivity and output, agricultural innovation and digitalisation, developing the agropreneur ecosystem, and expanding Ehsan products globally.

He noted that the plan would be executed through strong collaboration among PKPS’ four main subsidiaries, ensuring comprehensive control from production and processing to distribution and logistics.

He also said that the use of automation, data analytics, and AI-based systems is expected to improve productivity, reduce waste, and enhance food security throughout the value chain.

SEED2030 aligns with the National Agrofood Policy and the Selangor Agro Transformation Plan (PeTA), which focuses on food security, sustainability, and the well-being of the people.

“What is outlined at the national level, PKPS will be responsible for implementing at the state level. This is where Selangor plays its role, not only as an economic contributor, but also as a model for regional-based food security implementation," Mohamad Khairil added.
