DUNGUN, NOVEMBER 2, 2026 – KETENGAH Food Valley today received a visit from a delegation from Yayasan Diraja Sultan Mizan (YDSM) to observe the progress and implementation of the Napier Grass Cultivation Project undertaken in the area.

This socio-economic project, covering an area of 15 acres, is a strategic collaborative initiative between KETENGAH and YDSM with sponsorship from Westar Aviation Services. In the implementation of this project, KETENGAH is given full responsibility to monitor and coordinate the project management, which currently involves the participation of five local entrepreneurs.

This project not only has the potential to generate income for the entrepreneurs involved but also contributes to the development of the livestock feed supply chain in the KETENGAH Region. The harvested Napier grass will be continuously supplied to meet the food needs of elephants at Kenyir Elephant Cultural Village (KECV), Hulu Terengganu, in addition to meeting local market demand.

The working visit was attended by YBhg. Dato' Haji Azizulrahim bin Ahmad Zambri, Board of Trustees Member of YDSM, and YBrs. Captain Rohaizad bin Hussain, Base Manager of Westar Aviation Services Kertih. The arrival of the delegation was welcomed by Tuan Haji Mohd Radzi bin Md Noor, Deputy General Manager (Development) of KETENGAH, along with the management line-up, officers, and project participants. It is hoped that this strategic collaboration between KETENGAH and YDSM will continue to be strengthened to open up more economic opportunities, increase the income of local entrepreneurs, and boost the socio-economic development of the community in the KETENGAH Region.
