Our Story
Aliyah Rizq Holdings Pte Ltd started as a family-run business named ‘Aliyah Rizq Farm’ founded in 2015 with a 2-acre backyard farm in Mersing with humble beginnings of 30 goats and sheep to provide the service of aqiqah and urban to our Muslim family and friends.
Over the years, as the business progressed the company has expanded and moved its operations in 2017 to 25 acres in Bio Desaru with its sister company ‘Agropreneur Farms Sdn Bhd’. Currently, the farm is home to over 500 livestock, including sheep, goats, horses, and alpacas. In 2022, we have further expanded to 100 acres of our operations in Desaru.
As the demands for livestock and animals during qurban steadily increases, and the supply is limited, Aliyah Rizq Holdings in 2018, began expanding its wings to Indonesia and set up a sister company in Medan ‘PT Aliyah Rizq Agriculture’ with the primary focus of being a social enterprise to support low income and less skilled farmers in Indonesia to supply livestock into Malaysia. At present, we have 4 farms running under our flagship and we have over 300 contract farmers in our network.
At present we have set up a quarantine facility to facilitate the export of livestock from Indonesia to Malaysia, to meet the increasing local demands. This opened pathways for local Malaysian farmers to acquire good quality livestock from a secure and reliable source, legally as compared to the current struggle of the exploitation of livestock smuggling via the Thailand borders. At present, we have exported over 5000 healthy and good quality sheep.
The Aliyah Rizq Group is continuing to expand its wings in setting up partner farms across Indonesia to build its community of farmers to facilitate the needs of the market and the farmers in Malaysia. In 2023, we set up Aliyah Rizq Africa Limited, headquartered in Kenya for breeding, trading, and also exploring potential markets in the Middle East and Asia. In recent news, Indonesia and Singapore have established bilateral ties with Kenya to meet the demands of agricultural produce. At Aliyah Rizq Holdings we believe passionately about bridging the needs of both the farmers and the community through this social enterprise business model.
