Introduction
Situated at the northernmost part of Peninsular Malaysia, Perlis holds immense border trade potential. A significant catalyst for this potential is the Perlis Inland Port project, a flagship undertaking by NCIA and the private sector that aims to transform Perlis into a bustling trade hub.
This project not only capitalises on Perlis' geographical proximity to the Thai border but also leverages the state's unique position in NCER. The Perlis Inland Port is poised to enhance connectivity, streamline logistics, and facilitate cross-border trade, further solidifying Perlis as a key player in the regional economic landscape.
With improved infrastructure and logistical efficiency, Perlis is set to:
Unlock New Trade Opportunities
Stimulate Economic Growth
Fortify Its Standing as a Pivotal Cross-Border Trade Gateway
With the highest sun radiance in the country, Perlis provides a conducive environment for investment in the solar energy and agriculture industry. Many companies have chosen to invest in solar farms as well as high-value agriculture such as rice and superfruits.
On-going projects within the state that focus on green manufacturing, halal industries and renewable energy are set to further boost investment into the state and transform the state’s economic landscape in near future.
