Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu said in a statement today that the decision was finalised through the National Action Council on Cost of Living to overcome the shortage of Local White Rice in the market following the announcement for BPI prices by Bernas on September 1, 2023.“In order to enable the people to buy rice at a reasonable price, the government through the Naccol meeting agreed to reduce the prices of BPI by between RM2 and RM3 in the market.
Mohamad Sabu added that to increase the distribution of BPT in the market, the government has decided that all current available stock of paddy and rice that has been bought by the factories amounting to 140,000 metric tonnes can be processed and distributed for the local market.“Therefore, KPKM will increase its enforcement through the Kawalselia Padi dan Beras throughout the country.
