MACHANG: Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Kelantan branch aims to generate up to RM200,000 in revenue this year from the sale of MD2 pineapples and slips that it grows on a 1.6ha land in Bukit Tiu here. Its agrobusiness unit coordinator, Hadhifah Fadhlina Ismail, is optimistic about meeting the target because harvesting for the project, which began in April 2021, began last month. “The proceeds from the sale will be used to expand the area for MD2 pineapple cultivation because we received high demand not only from UiTM but also from government agencies and local residents.
