Festival FGV 2025 Receives Overwhelming Response, Attracts Over 2.1 Million Visitors
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 7 (Bernama) -- The FGV Festival 2025, organised by FGV Holdings Berhad (FGV) from July 30 to Aug 3 in conjunction with FELDA Settlers' Day 2025 at the Mega 3 Dimensional (MK3D) Carnival, received an overwhelming response with over 2.1 million visitors.
FGV Group Chief Executive Officer Fakhrunniam Othman stated that the festival, a joint effort with the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development, the Ministry of Entrepreneur and Cooperatives Development, and the Federal Land Development Authority, is a testament to FGV's commitment to empowering rural communities and driving the country's palm oil industry transformation to a global stage.
"The FGV Festival 2025 provided us with a space to engage with them, listen directly, and build stronger trust. Today, more than 70% of FGV's fresh fruit bunches (FFB) come from FELDA settlers and smallholders.
'This relationship goes beyond mere numbers; it is a significant trust that remains the core of every step in our transformation. FGV remains committed to working together to build an inclusive and sustainable future for the nation," he said in a statement today.
Among the festival's main highlights were the launch of five new SAJI products, the introduction of mechanisation technology for the plantation sector, strategic collaborations with Universiti Malaysia Kelantan for the development of food supplements and with Ditrolic Energy for the installation of a 5-megawatt solar photovoltaic (PV) system across 11 FGV operations, as well as the company's first mobile game, FGV EduGames.
Fakhrunniam said the support from Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi for the festival sends a clear signal that the future of FELDA and FGV is a crucial agenda in the country's development.
"The ongoing transformation of FGV is a strategic move that strengthens its commitment to settlers, shareholders, business partners, and the business ecosystem.
"In fact, FGV will continue to be committed to responsible business practices, integrity, and the core values we hold - Partnership, Respect, Integrity, Dynamism, Enthusiasm (P.R.I.D.E)," he said.
He stated that FGV's consumer brands, such as SAJI, SERI PELANGI, and GULA PRAI, have built a strong reputation among local consumers through their quality, value, and reliability.
