Miri, 21 October 2025 – As part of the UMAMI 2025 Campaign, RIAMTEC, in collaboration with UMAMI, successfully organised the Basic F&B Handling and Business Course. This half-day training programme was designed to empower small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and first-time entrepreneurs with the essential skills to thrive in Malaysia’s dynamic food and beverage (F&B) industry.
The session, held at RIAMTEC, was led by Chef Leo, who shared his professional expertise and practical knowledge on food safety, regulatory compliance, and the fundamentals of running an F&B business. Participants gained valuable insights into:
Basic food handling practices
Key F&B regulations in Malaysia
Operational fundamentals for new businesses
Practical strategies to strengthen local ventures
Entrepreneurs selected through UMAMI, along with local business representatives, took part enthusiastically in the programme. The training not only equipped them with essential knowledge but also created a platform for exchanging ideas and experiences, fostering collaboration within the local F&B community.
Adding a special touch, RIAMTEC Patisserie students showcased their culinary creations to participants, demonstrating the institute’s commitment to nurturing future talents in the industry.
This initiative under the UMAMI 2025 Campaign underscores RIAMTEC’s dedication to bridging education with industry needs, uplifting communities, and strengthening the growth of Malaysia’s F&B sector.
