TKPM Bukit Perak

TKPM Bukit Perak is situated in Pendang District, approximately 15 kilometres from Pendang town centre. TKPM stands for Taman Kekal Pengeluaran Makanan (Permanent Food Production Park), a Federal Government initiative under the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (MAFS) that allocates designated land for commercial and sustainable food cultivation. Its primary goal is to boost national self-sufficiency levels for strategic food produce such as vegetables, fruits and commodity crops through more structured land management. The TKPM Bukit Perak site encompasses multiple cultivation plots operated by local farmers and agricultural companies. Visitors have the opportunity to observe both modern and traditional farming practices, including fertigation systems, greenhouse cultivation and open-field farming. The lush, green agricultural landscape offers a distinctly different experience from conventional tourist attractions in Kedah. The Kedah state government places significant emphasis on TKPM as part of its food security agenda and rural agricultural economy. For travellers seeking an authentic agricultural experience in Kedah, TKPM Bukit Perak provides an opportunity to connect with the farm-to-table food chain. The best time to visit is during active growing seasons, typically in the first half of the year.
