Its chairman, Muhammad Farid Saad said, so far 10 bumiputera entrepreneurs have reached millionaire status based on their sales which register in the millions each year.

"So far we have 10 successful individuals. There are 12 people with the Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (Fama). The figures have increased and this is through the hard work of these entrepreneurs.

"I feel these 41 entrepreneurs can succeed as they have shown much determination," he told reporters after launching the Agro-Based Industry Product Promotion Programme involving Penang bumiputera entrepreneurs, here Friday.

He said the target can be achieved as the federal government provided financial aid to increase the income of the entrepreneurs, while the Focus Group helped to promote entrepreneurs through the electronic media with RM290,000 allocated to promote four bumiputera entrepreneurs this year.

Therefore, he urged bumiputera entrepreneurs who have not registered to do so at any agency so that assistance can be channeled to them.
