Kuching’s Rampangi farming projects get separate November and 2027 targets
-
Two farming developments at Rampangi in Kuching are working to different timetables: a precision farming park is expected to finish in November, while a RM3 million technology upgrade at the Permanent Food Production Park targets the third quarter of 2027.
Food Industry, Commodity and Regional Development Minister Dr Stephen Rundi Utom gave the update at the Sarawak Legislative Assembly on Oct 20. The 1.7-hectare Rampangi Precision Farming Park has reached 68 per cent physical progress, with planting scheduled for December. Those are upcoming milestones, not a report that crops are already being produced there.
The separate TKPM upgrade will introduce real-time monitoring, automated fertigation and AI-enabled analysis. For the Kuching food-production sector, the distinction is practical: the nearer-term planting schedule belongs to the precision park, not the later smart-technology package.
Two other precision parks, at Sungai Sebiew in Bintulu and Kabuloh in Miri, stood at 47 per cent and 62 per cent respectively as of September. Both are scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2027. Their planned facilities include greenhouses, internal roads, fertigation and Internet of Things technology.
