Bangladeshi Agroforestry researchers visit FRIM

FRIM received a delegation of 13 representatives from the Bangladesh’s Agroforestry Improvement Partnership (AFIP) Project on 23 February 2010.

The Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI) is coordinating the delegation’s travel programme which includes visits to various selected agriculture-related agencies in Kuala Lumpur.

The delegation, which arrived in Malaysia on 21 February on a six-day visit, came to FRIM in Kepong to learn more about its agro-forestry related research.

FRIM Corporate Management Unit Head Puan Norhayati Nordin welcomed the delegates who were later given a briefing on FRIM’s related research and development (R&D) activities by FRIM Forest Biotechnology Division Director Dr Norwati Mohamad and Plant Improvement Programme Head Dr Ab. Rasip Ab. Ghani.
