Who We Are
MaSDa (Short for Making Sabah Durian Amazing), also known as Sabah Durian and Tropical Fruit Planters Association, is an association of smallholders in Sabah. We associate with agro input providers, whosalers, food producers and governmental agencies to help our members manage their farms at a lower cost, increase and sustain their farm yield, and assist in finding profitable markets for their produces.
MaSDa works with agricultural educators, reasearchers, and industry players in generating and sharing relevant agricultural knowledge, technologies, and standard farm practises. MaSDa also promotes, educates, and connects with the public, consumers, and tourists about the local fruits, farmers, and their farms.
Our Mission
To run continuous education-centered activites and programmes which focuses on the cultivation of durian and other tropical plants to raise a generation of entrepreneurs who are well-equipped on the current technology applied to crop cultivation for the betterment of society and the country . This is hand-in-hand with our effort to raise awareness on good agricultural practises, which is also shared with the government’s aim of making agriculture a steady source of income for many.
We also carry out community outreach works that help to bring together fellow farm cultivators so that they advance together. This can also help MaSDa to foster a relationship and foster the spirit of teamwork with governmental organisations to help build a better framework and policy in the agricultural field.
