PUTRAJAYA: There will be sufficient food supply in the country now that the Approved Permit (AP) requirement to import foodstuff has been lifted.

The issue of food security was discussed in the Cabinet meeting yesterday and the Agriculture and Food Industry Ministry was ordered to come up with measures to ensure the supply would not be affected by the Russia-Ukraine war, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said.
