Mohd Faris also mentioned while expanding into Upstream, high-value crops and new growth areas - specifically smart or integrated farming and livestock management, Kulim is also venturing into downstream activities that could capture the margin of the entire value chain.

"Despite the challenges of pandemic Covid-19, Kulim registered a growth of 17% in revenue from RM1.21 billion in 2019 to RM1.41 billion in 2020," said Mohd Faris, adding that the result was due to the resilient manpower of Kulim, aided by the digitalization programme under the transformation plan.

"We implemented new systems for enhanced management, operations, administration and accounting systems, as well as to further enhance mechanization and automation by investing more in machinery," said Mohd Faris.

Mohd Faris mentioned that the key to a successful transformation was through recognizing the efforts of its employees, aided by digitalization and mechanization to increase productivity. While doing so, Kulim is also committed towards the Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) principles and recognize the importance of ESG throughout its organization.

"We are committed towards the RSPO and MSPO certifications, investing in Renewable Energy initiatives and working with biodiversity groups, to raise awareness on environmental issues. Kulim also carries out community development initiatives through institutions and programs for the community, children and education, people's welfare, infrastructure, culture and religion. The company also committed to integrity, Kulim was successfully accredited with the ISO 37001:2016 Anti-Bribery Management System ("ABMS") by SIRIM on the 4 June 2021," said Mohd Faris.
