00:00For the community gardens under the administration of the local government,
00:15what we have done throughout the year,
00:17the only difference this year is that we have given specialization to the melon farm.
00:22This is a new effort to encourage involvement.
00:27So that more of our farmers are involved in high-value agriculture.
00:34So this year, we have allocated for 6 gardens.
00:37Each garden will be provided with a rain shelter.
00:46Or if people are used to it, they call it a greenhouse.
00:49But actually it's not a greenhouse, but something like that.
00:52The value is RM50,000, complete with a hydrophonic system.
00:56Modern agriculture uses only water.
00:58And this place in Pandan Jaya will be a training ground.
01:03They will be trained, taught, guided from the beginning to the end.
01:10For high-value melons.
01:12We are looking at whether there is a Melocell melons or other high-value melons.
01:18Which is suitable for us to start this project, which will start soon.
01:23So I am confident that this partnership will help increase our results.
01:28But as I said earlier, I want to focus on the high-value melons.
01:33Among them, I mentioned earlier, vanilla, ginger, onions, etc.
01:37Those that are successful, have mentors, and we can guide them, and there will be a market.
01:42Hopefully this will help further increase our efforts under the Agro Melon Transformation Plan Phase 1.
01:49For Phase 2, we will be more focused on how to produce more,
01:55so that our contribution to the country's agriculture will increase.
01:59Next year, our focus will be vanilla, ginger, pineapple, melon, etc.
02:08We will also focus on J33.
02:10These are all among those that we have known for sure to be expanded and improved.
02:15The high-value, stable market.
02:18And I understand that the central government, as well as the union,
02:22has also provided assistance to Negeri Selangor.
02:24It is understood that there are more than 2 million people in the community gardens.
02:282.2 million have received assistance from the union government for their community garden activities.
