The Assistant Minister in the Chief Minister's Department (Bumiputera
Entrepreneur Development) Datuk Mohd Naroden Majais said today that the
vinegar is now a raw material of high value in Europe's pharmaceutical
industry.
He said to date, he had observed SMEs in the state only selling the
juice from the nipah palm as a drink known as Air Sadap, which had
little value.
"But when the juice from the nipah palm is processed into vinegar, its
value can reach thousands of ringgit per litre compared to just drinking
it," he added.
Mohd Naroden said this while officiating the Entrepreneurs Carnival and
Crafts Malaysia Promotion, organised by the Malaysian Handicraft
Development Corporation here Saturday.
