PART 4 STRATEGIC ENGAGEMENTS WITH STAKEHOLDERS
SCxSC Grow
Further, in support of the SCxSC Grow initiative, the SC also engaged with nearly 150 external stakeholders to better understand the current financing challenges faced by MSMEs in the agriculture sector, as well as to develop an alternative financing space to close this funding gap.
In these efforts, the SC was involved in continuous discussions with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, Agrobank, and MDEC, which led to the establishment of the Malaysian Innovation Agriculture Financing (MIAF) Steering Committee. The SC also frequently engaged with the SSM and various RMOs to gain valuable insights into financing options for MSMEs and explore ways in which the SC could facilitate easier access to funding.
