SERDANG, Sept 3 (Bernama) -- NAFAS Bajakimia Sdn Bhd (NBKSB) recorded sales exceeding RM160,000 during the first six days of the Malaysia Agriculture, Horticulture and Agrotourism (MAHA) 2026 exhibition, reflecting strong demand for its agricultural input products.
NBKSB chief executive officer Zalifudin Md Arshad said the achievement surpassed the company’s performance at previous MAHA editions, adding that it expected direct sales to increase during the final three days of the exhibition.
“NAFAS Bajakimia has sold 350 bags of fertiliser over the past six days, and we are targeting even higher sales during the remaining three days before the event concludes.
“We hope to exceed our initial target,” he told Bernama after the launch of the Premium Care fertiliser range at MAHA 2026 here today.
The launch of the range, comprising Premium Care 34+ and Premium Care 5, was officiated by Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu.
Zalifudin said Premium Care 34+ is enhanced with Nutrient Protection Enhancer (NPE) technology, which helps retain nutrients in the soil for longer and enables crops to absorb nutrients more efficiently to support fruit development.
He said Premium Care 5, which contains a balanced NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) formulation with a ratio not exceeding five, as well as 50 per cent humic acid, provides balanced nutrition and helps restore soil structure to improve crop productivity.
He added that NBKSB planned to expand the Premium Care range with three new formulations - 45D, 16D and 10D - to meet the needs of different crops, including fruit trees such as durian.
Zalifudin said the launch reflected NAFAS’ efforts, through NBKSB, to strengthen innovation in agricultural inputs by integrating product development, fertilisation technology and research to meet the needs of farmers and the country’s agricultural sector.
At the event, NBKSB also signed a two-year memorandum of agreement worth RM600,039 with the Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI).
The agreement covers the development of the Baja Super Durian Peladang controlled-release fertiliser (CRF) and an evaluation of its effectiveness in promoting crop growth and improving produce quality.
MAHA 2026, themed “Penciptaan Nilai Demi Keterjaminan Makanan”, is being held from Aug 28 to Sept 6.
