Under this concept, the Perak SADC will apply for land from the State Government. Upon approval, jungle clearing will begin and the basic infrastructure like roads sand drains, will be provided. Future Opportunities Aware of its role as the economic arm of the State Government, the Perak SADC has mapped out a strategy of diversification. While the traditional crops like oil palm, rubber are thriving in the Perak SADC s many projects, the organisation sees great potential in exploiting the rewards in cultivating multi activities such aquaculture, farming, crops as herba,fruits and others commercial agricultural based . In all these activities joint-ventures are welcomed where the Perak SADC would play the important role of a facilitator and investor alongside the prospective partner s technological and management expertise.
Privatisation is one way of opening up the diversification programme.
This innovative approach would see the Perak SADC subleasing its land to potential investors for either 30 or 60 years depending on the nature of the project. The company would of course be allowed to pledge the land for loans to banks and financial institutions. It can be seen, then, that the Perak SADC has some extremely promising opportunities to offer potential partners. With the Perak SADC s experience and authority, backing all its joint-venture projects, the future in the commercialisation and growth of the agriculture sector in Perak is bright.
