MELAKA: The Agriculture and Food Security Ministry will meet with padi farmers and Padiberas Nasional Bhd (Bernas) to discuss the country’s rice supply, says Mohamad Sabu.

This follows Bernas’ move to increase the price of imported white rice from RM2,350 a tonne to RM3,200, the Agriculture and Food Security Minister said.
