KOTAMAS
Building Sustainable Food Chains from Farm to Table
Vision & Mission
KOTAMAS stands as a beacon of sustainable agricultural development, committed to transforming Malaysia's farming landscape through innovative cooperative practices and community-driven initiatives.
Our Vision
"Creating sustainable food supply chains from farm to table"
We envision a future where every meal connects consumers directly to responsible farming practices, ensuring food security whilst preserving our environment for generations to come.
Our Mission
"Enhancing members' socio-economic status through safe agricultural and food activities"
We empower rural communities by providing comprehensive support, technical expertise, and sustainable farming solutions that improve livelihoods whilst maintaining the highest food safety standards.
Core Activities
KOTAMAS operates across multiple agricultural sectors, delivering comprehensive solutions that span from cultivation to market distribution. Our diversified approach ensures stability and growth opportunities for all cooperative members.
Cash Crops
Short-term vegetables and herbs harvested within a single growing season. Our members specialise in high-demand produce including leafy greens, aromatic herbs, and seasonal vegetables that provide quick returns and steady income streams.
Long-term Crops
Premium durian orchards, particularly the renowned Musang King variety in Raub. These valuable long-term investments provide substantial returns whilst contributing to Malaysia's reputation for world-class tropical fruits.
Agricultural Processing
Basic Agricultural Industry initiatives converting raw produce into semi-finished and finished food products. This value-addition process increases profitability whilst ensuring food safety and extending shelf life.
Member Training
Comprehensive technical and marketing programmes delivered in partnership with MARDI and FAMA. These initiatives equip members with modern farming techniques, business skills, and market access strategies.
Partnership Excellence
Our strategic collaborations with leading agricultural institutions ensure members receive cutting-edge knowledge and support. Through partnerships with MARDI (Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute) and FAMA (Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority), we bridge the gap between research and practical application.
