Vegetable farmers in the country have shown selflessness by donating vegetables to the needy, even though they are incurring losses.
Federation of Malaysian Vegetable Farmers Association chairman Tan So Tiok said farmers in his area of Tangkak, Johor, have been giving away vegetables to welfare associations and to their neighbours. Tan said many vegetable farmers nationwide are forced to dump their vegetables as they have nowhere to sell them. “The dumping cases are not because vegetable farmers aren’t willing to sell at lower prices.”
In a statement, Chiong said the Highland farmers had donated more than 100 tonnes of fresh vegetables to the needy all over the country during the MCO.
