MADA welcomes Kedah gov’t’s initiative to cultivate hill padi

: The Muda Agricultural Development Authority welcomes the Kedah government’s efforts to make the Sik district a hub for ‘huma’ padi cultivation in the state to serve as an alternative to the supply of local white rice.said the effort should be supported by all parties as it was complementary to the entire rice industry, especially in Kedah.

“I also want to make efforts and ensure that the cost of producing huma rice is reduced further because currently, the cost is quite high,“ he said when commenting on the state government’s efforts to target the Sik district as a hub for huma padi cultivation in the state.On Tuesday, Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor said that the Kedah State Zakat Board had implemented an initiative to plant huma padi by focusing on unutilised land in the Sik district.

“Actually, the statement issued by the Department of Irrigation and Drainage regarding the status of water storage in the dam is contradictory. The Muda Dam is under MADA, so the party that should issue the statement is MADA.
