editTaman Agri Katimahar is currently fully funded by Soto Rindu Restaurant. Originally, in 2010, the fruit trees that were planted were only an area of 10 acres with a workforce of 15 people, but now Taman Agri Katimahar is cultivated by 158 entrepreneurs consisting of residents of Kampong Katimahar with a land area of more than 100 acres. According to the Ketua Kampong Lugu and Katimahar, Awang Salim bin Adi, the construction of the park is to support the government's call, which is One Village, One Product.
