ALOR SETAR: The Kedah state government will fight against any ‘cartel’ found in the rice industry in the state to ensure better yields as well as to protect the interests of farmers, says Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor.

The Mentri Besar said it was possible that such a cartel existed when the rice cultivation undertaken by the Kedah State Zakat Board was able to achieve a higher yield than the existing average in the state.

"Why can we only get six tonnes per hectare but LZNK can achieve a higher yield. There must be a reason why this happens, because both use the same resources, seeds, irrigation and machinery” he told reporters after the state executive council meeting at Wisma Darul Aman here on Wednesday . "I am sceptical of the networks in this industry that are likely to be dishonest at any level. So, we will use this LZNK capital to challenge the existing system in the state to see if the production is still at the same level or not.

In another development, he said the Agriculture and Food Industries Ministry had allocated RM2.5mil for repair works on a collapsed bund at Terusan Tengah, Struktur Alor Limpah, Sungai Santap, Pelubang near Jitra, and that the process would take 14 days.
