Love Commodity Programme
Ministry of Primary Industries, through the Institute of Malaysian Plantation
and Commodities (IMPAC) is focusing on efforts to develop and strengthen
human capital development especially to increase the number of skilled and
semi-skilled workforce. Knowledgeable and skilled local labour is very much
needed in the plantation sector to increase productivity and to further the
performance of Malaysia’s commodity export earnings.
Love Commodity is a programme by IMPAC in collaboration with the
Department of Skills Development, Ministry of Human Resources and District
Education Office, Ministry of Education Malaysia. Its objective includes
addressing employment needs and encouraging youth to venture into
plantation and commodity sectors. The programme is aimed at high school
students who are completing their school education as well as youth and
entrepreneurs interested in training and careers in the plantation sector
including commodities and industry management in the plantation and
commodity sectors.
In 2018, the programme was carried out in three zones namely Peninsula
Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak. For the Peninsula Zone, the program was
