: Subsidising imported white rice in Sabah and Sarawak is to ensure the people always have access to sufficient supply of rice at a controlled price.

“Wholesalers in Sabah, such as Sazarice and TKC, have agreed for BPI bought by retailers and supermarkets before Oct 5 to be sold at the new price. Chan also said that the Federal Government is striving to increase the production of local white rice, especially in Sabah, through the Large-Scale SMART Padi Field Programme in the Integrated Agricultural Development Area in Kota Belud.

He said the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, together with Sabah’s Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Industry , is also planning to carry out joint development programmes to create a rice granary in the state.
