00:00The Ministry of Agriculture is a big ministry.
00:04It has a very important and strategic responsibility for our country.
00:11So if we talk about export, not thinking about capital, not thinking about marketing, not thinking about productivity,
00:20it's not complete.
00:21These are old theories, not new theories.
00:24They have been using economics for a long time.
00:26They emphasize this.
00:28And I remember the thesis of Prof. Diraja Uncle Aziz.
00:36When he talked about poverty in the outskirts of the city.
00:39He spoke in Malay from the beginning.
00:41Capital issues, low productivity issues.
00:45Marketing issues, which is called irregularities in the marketing infrastructure.
00:52Then, that's why we have to be careful in all these aspects.
00:59So the subsidy that is given must give a good return.
01:05And this is actually a task entrusted to the ministry.
01:10And I see, even though we are moving a bit at the first stage,
01:18but in the second year, under the leadership of Minister Srimah Maksabu,
01:24I see that the speed is convincing.
01:29Meaning, if I look at the pace of change and progress in the Ministry of Agriculture
01:36and food assurances as it is now,
01:40with a focus on durian and various other things,
01:44I am confident that in another one or two years,
01:47we will see the landscape of our country's agriculture change.
01:53So I hope that all agencies, Mardi and others,
01:57the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Assurances,
01:59take this as a challenge.
02:01We have to plant among the farmers, fishermen, our farmers,
02:07and all the ministries of agriculture,
02:11among the big ministries in our country.
02:15I see that this is a major challenge.
02:19There is no reason why we cannot improve.
02:22If there is a deficiency, we look at ourselves.
02:25What is our deficiency?
02:26Where is our fault?
02:28Where is our base?
02:29We cannot expect an increase in results
02:32without the use and change of technology, including AI.
02:38As I have witnessed in several places,
02:40the use of AI in increasing productivity.
02:44I hope that this important event becomes another space
02:50to plant the spirit and also give an opportunity
02:57for the people to see, but also for the government
03:02to feel how the people put their hopes
03:10and show their admiration for a better result.
03:17So with the word of bismillahirrahmanirrahim,
03:20I hereby officially inaugurate Pesta Maha 2024.
03:26Assalamualaikum.
