The new business model for the Federal Land Development Authority will take centre stage at the national-level Felda Settlers’ Day celebrations to be held tomorrow at Felda Selancar 3 in Muadzam Shah, Rompin.
Similar to the previous years' events, an exhibition will be held at this year's Felda Settlers Day to showcase the settlers' development programmes, said Felda director-general Dr Othman Omar , will also be present at the event, and he will demonstrate how to cook rabbit meat-based dishes.Incidentally, the celebrity chef is a second-generation Felda settler from Felda Sungai Koyan, Pahang, and he will receive an award for being a Malaysian icon during the celebrations.
"The new business model is focused on helping this group to reduce their reliance on oil palm products, make them more dynamic and to rid them of their dependency mentality," he said. "We will provide various mechanisms through the new model for settlers to manage their smallholding. They can either lease out their land or increase their income through the modules we've developed for them.The new business model will appeal to the older settlers - almost 70 percent of them are aged 56 and above - who can lease their land to Felda for up to 20 to 30 years.
He said the second- and third-generation Felda settlers should make use of the opportunity to study smart agriculture which leverages on Industry 4.0 technologies.
