SHAH ALAM, Oct 25 — Selangor Fruit Valley (SFV), managed by the Selangor Agricultural Development Corporation (PKPS), joined a campaign to plant 100 million trees by 2025 at its farm in Rawang.
The Peninsular Malaysia Forestry Department (JPSM) said on Facebook that 400 psidium guava trees were planted in SFV last week under the Malaysian Greening Programme.
“This programme was held in collaboration with the Selangor State Forestry Department and INTI International College Subang towards the aim of planting 100 million trees in five years, from 2021 to 2025.
