Incubator-centre will also be setup in Pasir Mas and Gambang to attract and assist budding Bumiputera entrepreneurs. The incubator centre will be equipped with common facilities including laboratories, and will also tie-up with existing programmes (such as with MARA, and Ministry of Agriculture) to provide skills training and technological advisory services. The incubator programmes will also provide technical support, skills upgrading and development, and market development to other processing sites. SME development programme for processed fisheries products to upgrade production capability and to increase the market reach of the products will also be developed.
