Malaysia to showcase innovations at Maha 2016

PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia will showcase innovations in agriculture including mechanisation and information technology at the Malaysia International Agriculture, Horticulture and Agrotourism Show (Maha) 2016.

"The government's focus is to increase food production for future needs via innovation and technology," he said at the ministry's Innovation Day celebration at Wisma Tani, here today.
