Ongoing 'total lockdown' causing 200 tonnes of veggies to go unsold - Yusup.

Local farmers at Tanah Tinggi Lojing, Gua Musang, Kelantan, have repeated calls for the government to set up a vegetable collection and processing centre to help prevent losses from unsold produce.

Covid-19 movement restrictions, including the ongoing "total lockdown", have caused over 200 tonnes of vegetables to go unsold, say the farmers, which has affected the income of about 200 of them and their workers.

Y not give them a helping hand?🤔

It's a pity to these farmers.

Dh ckp kita jg kita , bkn pas jg kamu

strange, in Kedah. The price of vrge went up by 30%

Can't the state assembly send their Mercedes to help bring those produce out to sell to the market? So sad to see the folks worked so hard to lose money like this.

What a waste. Should move it online and go directly to end user instead of middle man.tough times, tougher decision.

Sad news really 😥
