GEORGE TOWN, May 27 — Penang needs to prioritise its food security by ensuring food supplies are at an optimum level especially with the increase in inflation rates and prices of food, state Yang di-Pertua Negri Tun Ahmad Fuzi Abdul Razak said today.
"Therefore, the state government must focus on food security programmes so that the people are able to face the challenges brought about by inflation or hyperinflation, an issue that was much discussed at this time," he said in his opening speech at the fifth term of the 14th state legislative assembly here this morning.
He said in 2022, the state agricultural department is targeting to increase the average paddy production to 6.2 metric ton per hectare.
