SOME 320 families at the Pos Pulat Orang Asli settlement in Gua Musang have become the first natives to be introduced to the multi-purpose kenaf plant by the National Tobacco and Kenaf Board (LKTN). 

These Orang Asli families can now be involved in several downstream activities based on the plant that can be cultivated and managed easily within the Malaysian tropics, said board chairman Wan Abdul Rahim Wan Abdullah.
