The initiative saw the distribution of over 15,000 oil palm seedlings to farmers throughout the district.

The distribution event, took place at the Department of Agriculture's forecourt. This effort is part of the government's larger plan to encourage the cultivation of cash crops, aiming to create stable income streams for farmers.
