On 21 September 2026, MARDI hosted a study visit for 14 participants of the "Executive Leadership Program on Agribusiness Transformation: Malaysia–International Exchange", organised by the Asia School of Business (ASB) from 21 to 24 September 2026 in Kuala Lumpur. The participants comprised nine from Tanzania, two from Brunei Darussalam and three from Malaysia.
Coordinated by the Engineering Research Centre, the visit provided insights into MARDI’s agricultural engineering research and innovations, including smart and modern farming and digitalisation technologies. Participants also toured MARDI's post-harvest and food processing equipment, as well as various smart and precision farming technologies.
Earlier that day, MARDI also participated as an invited panel member and speaker in the "Executive Institutional Roundtable and Ecosystem Mapping" session. Representing MARDI, Dr. Mohammad Fauzy Tambi from the Technology Commercialization and Business Centre shared MARDI’s roles, strategies and experiences in commercialising agricultural technologies and innovations, including key challenges encountered along the way.
The programme provided a valuable platform for sharing Malaysia’s experience in transforming agriculture and agribusiness, while fostering knowledge exchange and international collaboration.
Thank you to Asia School of Business (ASB) for inviting MARDI to be part of this meaningful programme!
