Soil profiling contributes to higher rice yields

NIBONG TEBAL: The systematic profiling of the soil used for growing rice has almost doubled rice yield per hectare since it was launched in 2016.

Agriculture and Food Industries Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ronald Kiandee said the average yield from where soil profiling was implemented gave an output of 4.7 tonnes per ha, compared with 2.6 tonnes before that.
