STORYLINE:

Adopting new technology and methods in agriculture is needed to guarantee food security and expand exports, a Malaysian official said on Tuesday.

SOUNDBITE 1 (English): ABDUL RAHMAN MAMAT, Chairman of Malaysian Technology Development Corporation (MTDC)
"MTDC is privileged to co-host this important event, which provides an invaluable platform for advancing agricultural technology, fostering collaborations, and exploring sustainable solutions to address current and future challenges."

With the theme "Pesticide-Free Farming for a Healthier Nation," this year's conference runs from Nov. 26 to 28 and is expected to attract a diverse range of visitors and participants from various sectors including the participation of foreign agricultural enterprises.

Among these is China Western Power Industrial Co., Ltd., a power generation and new technology company, that offers technological solutions including building power grids for agricultural areas.

SOUNDBITE 2 (Chinese): MO HAONAN, Executive director of business division, China Western Power Industrial Co., Ltd.
"Many palm oil plantations and jasmine farms in Malaysia are not connected to the power grid. In such cases, we can use regional microgrid technology to address their energy supply and demand issues.
Malaysia also hopes that more new technologies and renewable energy innovations from China will be introduced to the country."
