KUALA LUMPUR, July 30 (Bernama) -- The National Farmers’ Organisation (NAFAS) continues to reinforce its commitment to the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security’s (KPKM) initiatives through its participation in the National Farmers, Breeders and Fishermen’s Day (HPPNK) 2025 celebration in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.
In a statement today, NAFAS said the 50th edition of HPPNK, which will be held from Aug 1 to 3 at the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC), is expected to draw over 500,000 visitors.
HPPNK 2025 will feature four strategic focus areas, namely Agro Millenia, Sufficient and Guaranteed, Sejahtera Madani, and Agro MADANI Sales.
As one of the sponsors of HPPNK 2025, NAFAS continues to play a key role in supporting the development of the country’s agro-food sector, particularly in Sabah, through a comprehensive approach involving youth participation, industry advancement, and the strengthening of strategic cooperation networks.
“NAFAS is once again collaborating with the National Fishermen’s Association (NEKMAT) to organise the second edition of the e-sports series under the Agro Millenia segment. A total of 32 Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) teams will compete for a prize pool of RM10,000.
"Entry is free, with winners set to take home cash prizes, plaques, participation certificates and exclusive T-shirts,” according to the statement.
The event will also be enlivened by meet-and-greet sessions with local gaming and e-sports influencers, including Ikuto, Kuro Sensei and Sunfrost, who will provide live commentary throughout the Mobile Legends tournament.
Visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy a range of interactive activities, such as Kahoot games, arcade machines, PlayStation 5 games, and virtual reality (VR) experiences.
The statement said that NAFAS would also be involved in the HPPNK Pavilion segment, where it will showcase the padi industry chain -- covering technical aspects, types of fertilisers and support services for farmers -- in addition to setting up a counter offering information on investment and financing opportunities in the agriculture sector.
One of the main highlights at the NAFAS pavilion will be the agricultural machinery exhibition and counter, which will feature a CASE machinery demonstration to expose farmers to the latest technologies in agricultural mechanisation.
HPPNK 2025 will also feature the participation of two NAFAS subsidiaries -- NAFAS Bajakimia Sdn Bhd and NAFAS Agri Services Sdn Bhd -- which will offer fertiliser sales, technical advisory services and share experiences on the use of Peladang brand agricultural inputs.
“Visitors to HPPNK should not miss the opportunity to join the Jawab dan Menang contest and Lucky Draw, with prizes up for grabs including motorcycles, PlayStation 5 units, gold wafer coins, electric scooters and many others,” the statement said.
It added that NAFAS’s participation in the 50th edition of HPPNK further reinforced its presence not only in Peninsular Malaysia but also in Sabah, in line with efforts to bring agricultural services closer to the people.
