Its Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said they should continue to
improve their performance and go on to become successful entrepreneurs.
He said by expanding their business and becoming entrepreneurs, the
particpants would have more opportunities in the marketing area and be
able to generate better income.
"The target of the Azam Tani programme is to bring them (the
participants) out of poverty line. Although, the ministry has achieved
its KPI (key performance index), but so far I am still not satisfied, I
want them (the participants) to go even further.
"There are agencies such as Tekun (The government-owned Entrepreneur
Group Economic Fund) and Agro Bank that can help them in expanding what
they are doing and becoming entrepreneurs," he told reporters after
attending a get-together programme with Muda Agricultural Development
Authority's (Mada) Azam Tani participants here, today.
Ismail Sabri added that since the programme was introduced in 2011,
there were more than 900 participants under the Mada itself, involving
more than RM4.5 million in allocations, and for this year RM2 million
had been allocated for 250 participants.
