KOTA KINABALU: The Agricultural Products Collection Centre (APCC) in Sabah's northern Kota Marudu is set to assist rural farmers sell their products to larger markets.
The APCC operated by the state's Rural Development Corporation was officially opened at Kampung Damai in the Kota Marudu district by Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan.
The other two completed APCCs are in Kundasang and Beaufort while three more are nearing completion in Keningau, Lahad Datuk and Telupid. “While farmers have no trouble producing agricultural products, they frequently lack a market, owing to saturated local marketplaces. They are frequently forced to cut their prices in order to move their stocks.
The APCC Kota Marudu currently has just 249 registered agropreneurs but KPD anticipates that more will register following the official opening ceremony.
