CAMERON HIGHLANDS (Bernama): Cameron Highlands vegetable growers have been given six months to reduce their use of insecticides before stricter enforcement takes place, says Deputy Agriculture and Agro-based Minister Sim Tze Tzin.

He said the heavy use of pesticides isn’t just harmful to growers and consumers, but damages the environment and causes produce to be unsuitable for export.
