The large crowd at one of the Pavillions
A few of products displayed - dried food products and handicrafts
1. I visited the Carnival site on the Saturday (September 5, 2015) afternoon and spent around three hours. It was held for five days, from 2nd September to 6th, 2015 at Precint 3, Putrajaya to promote and market products produced by small scale entrepreneurs in the rural areas. The exhibits were housed in sprawling huge tents that were constructed in the parking areas amidst the ministries and departments of the Government in the new Federal capital. It was officially opened by the YAB Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, the Prime Minister of Malaysia.
2. Among the range of products displayed include food and beverages, handicrafts, herbal health and cosmetic, clothings, organic, eco-tourism and services related to the agricultural and rural industries. The new product displayed that has received considerable interest, was the cabin chalet, which was constructed using containers. The interior of these cabin chalets were beautifully decorated. These exhibits were displayed under the agencies that have sponsored their development, among them were, RISDA, FELCRA, KEDA, Jabatan Orang Asli.
3. The Carnival also provided a forum for, a. recognising young entrepreneurs who have participated in the Rural Business Challenge (RBC) 2015 organised by the Ministry of Rural Development in its effort to encourage youths from the rural areas to embark in business enterprises, b. distribute grants to 23 winners of the RBC programme.
