Minister: Agrofood sector suffered losses of over RM90m due to floods

SHAH ALAM, Jan 27 — The agriculture, fisheries and livestock sectors have been recorded losses of more than RM90.6 million so far involving 7,578 agrofood industry entrepreneurs nationwide following the floods that hit the country at the end of last year.

“This figure will continue to rise from time to time when a comprehensive survey is carried out because the damage has been quite extensive,” he said in his speech that was read out by his deputy, Datuk Seri Ahmad Hamzah, at the opening ceremony of the Selangor State Farmers’ Association’s 44th annual general meeting here last night.

Ronald also hoped that all Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industries departments and agencies, together with the targeted groups, would work together in adapting technology in the agriculture sector.
