Sarawak key to food masterplan, says Mustapa

JELI: Sarawak, the country’s biggest state, is now looked upon as key to the country's national food security masterplan (FSS) following the recent escalating global prices of food commodities, especially rice.

Sarawak has huge land banks which can be cultivated and the Agriculture and Agro-Based Industries Ministry has selected rice as a major farming produce there, Minister Datuk Mustapa Mohamed said.
