In 2025, one of Lumut Port’s most notable and widely discussed initiatives was the Hydroponic Farming Program, a forward-thinking project aimed at promoting sustainability and community empowerment. Through this program, Lumut Port supplied hydroponic farming sets to mosques across the Manjung district, creating a practical and environmentally friendly way for local residents to grow fresh produce without the need for traditional soil-based agriculture.
The initiative quickly proved to be a success, with nearly 200 kilograms of vegetables harvested each month, providing a reliable source of nutritious food for families in the area. Beyond addressing food security, the program also helped reduce dependency on market supply chains, allowing communities to take a more active role in producing their own food.
“This is more than just a project — it has transformed how we think about food,” shared a mosque committee member. “People in our neighbourhood now enjoy fresh vegetables every week, and many have been inspired to start their own small hydroponic systems at home.”
The Hydroponic Farming Program represents more than an agricultural effort — it embodies Lumut Port’s broader vision of fostering self-sufficiency, environmental stewardship and sustainable living. By equipping communities with the tools, knowledge and confidence to grow their own food, Lumut Port continues to nurture a culture of green innovation and collective responsibility toward a healthier, more resilient future.
