“There needs to be a shift in a larger scale at the grassroots, to ensure a robust agroindustry. At GrasiCili, we’ve realised that when we combine contract farming, a good business model, and social enterprise into the equation, we will be able to elevate the community of the nation, especially those in the B40 group. This is how we ensure a sustainable agroindustry, while empowering the people behind it,” says Munir as he explains the idea that led to GrasiCili.

“Every day on the job is a process of learning. Raising chickens is an art – thus, contract farming is a great opportunity for farmers to upgrade and perfect their farming techniques, allowing specialization in this line of business.” - Syaizul Syamil, Founder and Farm Manager of Tube Ventures

In the 21st century, digital transformation and technology allow business to operate more efficiently. However, this does not necessarily mean a huge investment worth tens of thousands of ringgit. Alternatively, farmers can take the initiative to implement technology in a smaller, more affordable scale. In the case of Tube Ventures, the entire 0.6 farm hectare is installed with 4G Gateway, allowing full access to the Internet of Things (IoT) devices over data network connection. Helping the day-to-day operations, farmers could perform tasks more efficiently – for example, viewing the live-feed of the chickens, and even controlling lighting or watering system simply from their mobile phone devices.

"The primary objective of the Quality Enviroment (QE(5S)) implementation is to provide a conducive environment for the staff at the warehouse. As a material handling manufacturer, the daily tasks revolve around the usage of heavy duty materials and equipment that are risky and might cause harm if it is not properly conducted by the staff. Hence, TMP initiated an informal QE(5S) practice among the staff to reduce the tendency of the accidents. Years later, after TMP was chosen by MPC to join the SPPE program, QE(5S) is finally being formally practised to yield the best output for the business operation. MPC has guided us step-by-step on the implementation which benefited us the most with its impacts. The project demonstrates a significant difference in the work processes at the warehouse where it reduces the finding time to look for documents and tools at the rack, besides allowing the staff to properly utilise the warehouse space. We would sustain a continuous-improvement culture at TMP to leverage long-term profits and benefits in the future." -Mr.Ter Leong Leng, Chief Executive Officer (CeO), Top Mech Provincial Sdn Bhd
