This year's UMM Agribusiness Business Plan Competition is an event that brings together students with practitioners and experts in the field of agribusiness. This is expected to provide valuable experience for the participants and be a good start in preparing them as successful young entrepreneurs in the future. M. Zul Mazwan, as the Secretary of the Agribusiness Study Program said in his speech that the Business Plan Competition is not only a means for students to express their creativity and innovation, but also to prepare Study Program delegates in various Business Plan competitions both at the university level and national and international competitions. Moreover, as students of the Agribusiness Study Program, they should have superior abilities and competencies in mastering this business plan compared to other Study Programs.
With a high spirit of competition and brilliant business ideas, the UMM Agribusiness Business Plan Competition was successfully implemented and has the potential to make a positive contribution to the development of the agribusiness sector in Indonesia.
