TAWAU: The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security has assured an adequate supply of rice in Sabah and Sarawak, ahead of the Kaamatan Festival and Gawai Day celebrations.
“A total of 57,500 metric tonnes of the government’s stockpiles are placed in Padiberas Nasional Berhad warehouses in Sabah, while 33,000 metric tonnes are in Sarawak. The ministry has been instructed to monitor the supply of rice, at the wholesale and retail levels, to ensure that it is sufficient, in addition to being sold at a reasonable price,” he said in a statement today.
In the meantime, Arthur said that 111,478 metric tonnes of Imported White Rice were supplied to the market in Sabah, with subsidy of RM23.75 million per month, in line with the federal government’s efforts to provide a subsidy of RM950 per metric tonne on the BPI wholesale price from October 5 last year, to compensate supply and price of rice in Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan.
The ministry will also implement the Ala Sekinchan Smart SBB Programme pilot project, in Kampung Kesapang Tengah, Kota Belud, covering an area of 27.81 hectares involving fifteen participants, and is expected to start in July this year, through the use of mechanisation and automation elements.
