Corn kernel’s machine can generate triple income

The innovation of corn fruit scatter machine by the Department of Agricultural Engineering are believed can help the entrepreneur to gain triple income.

Food process based on corn fruit such as grits and corn cup can be easier with their machine said Mohamad Fiqri Shaffie, Deputy Director of Department of Agricultural Engineering.

He tells that the first corn machine in Malaysia was innovated from coconut grated machine with additional special blade to scatter the corn fruit.

“Before the machine was created, sellers that sell food based on corn fruit normally bought the frozen one or the ready-made one. It is more expensive.”

“But, with modal of RM350 to RM400 for the machine, now they can produce corn fruit freshly from the farmers within the price of 50 cents to RM1 compared to buying from the market with price of RM3 for each corn,” he add.

He was interviewed at the Malaysia Agriculture, Horticulture and Agro-tourism show 2018(MAHA 2018) which placed at Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang(MAEPS).
