KUALA SELANGOR, Sept 6 — Selangor Fruit Valley (SFV) has made it into the Malaysia Book of Records (MBOR), earning recognition as the country’s largest tropical fruit plantation and agrotourism centre.
The recognition certificate was presented by MBOR representative Menaga Vadamalai to Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari and Agriculture EXCO Dato’ Izham Hashim at a ceremony today.
Amirudin said the recognition was not only a result of the cultivation efforts, but also the meticulous maintenance of the fruit crops to ensure they remained healthy and productive, alongside the agro-tourism activities offered.
He said SFV, which spans more than 1,000 hectares, had become a symbol of Selangor’s success in integrated agricultural development, while strengthening food security for the people in the state and Malaysia as a whole.
“So, I believe it is not only recognition of what we have planted, but also what we have been able to maintain. We maintained it until it became the largest tropical fruit plantation in Malaysia.
“It is also part of our food security efforts. We grow vegetables, grain corn and onions, and we have started growing them here as well,” he said.
Earlier, Amirudin flagged off more than 800 participants in the Ehsan SFV Fun Run 2025, which featured five and three kilometre routes around the plantation.
He said SFV received an average of 1,000 visitors daily, bringing the number of visitors to the integrated agro-tourism project developed by the Selangor Agricultural Development Corporation (PKPS) to about 30,000.
“We also see that from a financial perspective, Selangor Fruit Valley has delivered results.
“We can further upgrade the facilities here to enhance its appeal to residents and communities in Selangor, as well as visitors from outside the state,” he said.
SFV is an integrated agro-tourism project developed by PKPS to establish Selangor as an agro-based tourism hub.
Initially established as a commercial tropical fruit orchard, SFV has since evolved into a large-scale agro-tourism destination combining recreation, education and modern agricultural research.
The 30 fruit crop plantations feature varieties including durian, nangka, rambutan, pineapple, guava, starfruit and coconut, with various attractions and activities such as a mini zoo, rabbit park, deer farm, tram rides, cycling and water-based activities.
