and Yayasan Sabah Director Khalil Datu Jamalul.
THE AQUACULTURE industry is
set to go big in Sabah with the launch of the Integrated Lobster Aquaculture
Park (iLAP) – the first of its kind in the world – in Semporna.
A joint venture between Ever
Nexus company, Yayasan Sabah subsidiary company Inno Fisheries and Darden
Incorporated, the 9,300-hectare marine park that is earmarked for the east
coast district of Semporna will become the world’s first fully integrated
commercial lobster hatchery.
The project will include
lobster aquaculture for commercial production, contract farming and training,
as well as mussels farming as a food source for the lobsters.
Guest of Honour, Chief
Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Musa Haji Aman witnessed the signing ceremony
between Darden Inc. and Yayasan Sabah today in Kuala Lumpur. He subsequently
launched the RM2 billion-investment programme.
Speaking at the ceremony, Musa
said that the global market for lobsters is estimated to be over RM12 billion a
year, while the Asia Pacific region with China in particular accounts for 75
percent of the total market.
“This translates into vast
economic opportunities for Malaysia and in particular the state of Sabah, in
becoming a major player in meeting the demand for lobsters,” he said.
According to Musa, the
establishment of iLAP will generate more than RM3 billion in annual sales by
2030. Job opportunities will be abundant as a result of this project with 6,000
new jobs created in the next eight years. By 2030, the project is slated to
open up to 20, 000 new job opportunities.
Located in Orlando Florida,
Darden Inc. is the world’s biggest chain of full-service restaurants with an
annual sale of US$ 7.2 billion and up to 180, 000 workers.
Musa said that the project
would help boost the Bumiputera entrepreneur programme and the agriculture
component of the National Key Economic Areas (NKEA) plan.
“This business venture has
already opened an opportunity for Bumiputera Company Ever Nexus together with
Inno Fisheries Sdn Bhd, to successfully form a partnership with Darden Inc.
This goes to show that effective participation of Bumiputera entrepreneurs is
achievable within the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) and other
national level plans,” he said.
Musa further notes that
Sabah’s worth as an investment destination is proven through the state’s
ability to attract approximately RM10 billion in investments in the first
quarter of the this year. This is the highest amount of private investments in
Malaysia.
“I am confident that the
iLAP project will become a catalyst for further economic growth in the east
coast region of Sabah, and will create more high income jobs,” he said. (Insight

Oleh yang demikian, ekonomi negeri diunjurkan berkembang di antara 5 hingga 6 peratus pada tahun 2013.
