PARIT BUNTAR: Rubber smallholders have been urged to seek the advice of Risda officers before they switch to other crops due to the good price commanded by the commodity now. 

Regional and Rural Development Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Aziz Shamsuddin said rubber smallholders should think carefully in spite of the aid being offered by the Government under the newly-announced scheme, Tanam Semula Getah Ke Tanaman Lain (replanting rubber with other crops), announced on Thursday.
