MALAYSIA: RHB Islamic has partnered with Pemodalan Nasional (PNB) to launch the Projek Ternakan Ayam Kampung Kacuk (PTAKK) program which aims to foster sustainable economic growth within targeted communities in Kelantan by enabling program participants to venture into poultry farming entrepreneurship, according to a press release.
As the program implementer, Universiti Malaysia Kelantan’s Institute of Research and Poverty Management will manage the program from farm development to product marketing, including guiding, training and advising the participants on poultry entrepreneurship and monitoring PTAKK’s progress from incubation to project completion.
The founding of a poultry farming ecosystem in Kampung Pohon Menasi, Bachok, Kelantan, will involve several phases including setting up a poultry hatchery and food processing system.
RHB Islamic and PNB will collectively contribute RM600,000 (US$129,826) as seed funding for the program.
