PETALING JAYA: Farmers are hoping the government will consider giving a RM100 subsidy for each tonne of vegetables they produce. Malaysia Federation of Vegetable Farmers Association president Lim Ser Kwee said the government should allocate funds to agriculture to help increase efficiency and ensure food security.

He said the federation suggested the government give out the subsidy under Budget 2023, which will be retabled on Feb 24.
