RANAU: Situasi terlalu bergantung kepada import bekalan dalam memenuhi permintaan beras di Sabah wajar dihentikan bagi mengukuhkan keterjaminan makanan di negeri ini, kata Ketua Menteri Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.
Beliau berkata pada masa ini tahap sara diri Sabah bagi bekalan beras pada 22.8 peratus, dengan SSL yang amat rendah itu menyebabkan kebergantungan yang tinggi Sabah terhadap bekalan beras sumber import bagi memenuhi permintaan.Sehubungan itu, katanya, kerajaan Sabah bertindak dengan tuntas bagi meningkatkan tahap SSL apabila pada 17 April lepas, Kabinet negeri bersetuju menghidupkan semula Lembaga Padi dan Beras Sabah bagi memacu usaha itu.

“Bantuan baja pada kadar optimum serta subsidi penjualan padi turut diberikankepada semua pengusaha dengan peruntukan RM5.16 juta,” katanya.
