SERDANG: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim stressed that cartel practices in the country’s agriculture sector must and will be stopped.
"That’s why it’s essential to have a minister and a secretary-general who are firm in ensuring that the old cartel practices in fertiliser importation are completely eliminated,” he said in his speech when officiating the opening of the Malaysia Agriculture, Horticulture and Agrotourism Exhibition 2024 held at the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park here on Saturday .
Therefore, he stressed the importance of creating a holistic and sustainable ecosystem rather than relying solely on the Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority . "This is a task entrusted to KPKM, and although progress was gradual in the first year, I am optimistic about the pace of improvement under Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu’s leadership as we enter the second year,” he said.
