PETALING JAYA: Malaysians can breathe a sigh of relief over rice shortage woes for now as India has agreed to export 170,000 tonnes of non-basmati white rice to Malaysia, says Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir.
“The Malaysian people appreciate India’s gesture very much, as Malaysia and India have always enjoyed very good bilateral ties,” said Zambry from Saudi Arabia. India has approved the export of 170,000 tonnes of non-basmati white rice to Malaysia on Oct 18 as a friendly gesture, the source said.“The decision by the government of India is reflective of the close ties between India and Malaysia and in line with India’s continued policy of supporting the efforts of governments in friendly countries towards safeguarding domestic food security,” said the source.
He said the special quota of imported non-basmati white rice would not have much impact on the price of local white rice.“If at all, it would only have a very minimal effect on the price,” said Mohamad, pointing out that the special quota is a minor percentage of the whole import of non-basmati rice.On July 20, the Indian government announced that it would stop exporting non-basmati white rice effective immediately to help lower rice prices and secure availability in India.
