A BIG THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR
Aliyah Rizq Holdings Pte Ltd, originally operating under the name ‘Aliyah Rizq Farm’, was established as a family-run venture in 2015. The business commenced on a modest 2-acre backyard farm located in Mersing, starting with a mere 30 goats and sheep. The primary aim was to offer services related to aqiqah and qurban, catering to specific religious and communal needs.
As the enterprise flourished over the years, it saw significant expansion. By 2017, operations were relocated to a larger 25-acre site in Bio Desaru, alongside its sister company ‘Agropreneur Farms Sdn Bhd’. The farm, at this stage, had become a sanctuary for over 500 livestock, encompassing not just sheep and goats, but also horses and alpacas, diversifying its animal husbandry practices.
The growth trajectory continued, and by 2022, Aliyah Rizq Holdings further extended its operations to encompass 100 acres in Desaru, marking a substantial increase in its capacity and reinforcing its commitment to broadening its services in the region.
