KUALA LUMPUR: A lawmaker has questioned the supposed prevalence of imported rice in the market, urging that locally-produced rice must be made easily available
“Can the ministry clarify whether the imported rice is entirely sourced from abroad, or is some of it local? This is the perception out there,” he said, urging the Agriculture and Food Security Ministry to provide a clear explanation. While local rice is priced at an affordable RM2.60 per kg on paper, Hassan argued that this was meaningless if it remained unavailable in the market.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, Malaysia faced challenges in its rice supply chain, leading to an increased reliance on imported rice.
