Negri needs its own rice mills, says Jalaluddin

SEREMBAN: There is a need to set up rice mills in Negri Sembilan to deal with the lack of local rice supply, says Datuk Seri Jalaluddin Alias.

The state Agriculture, Food Security and Cost of Living Committee chairman said the state government needs to step up efforts on the cultivation of padi in districts such as Kuala Pilah, Jelebu, Jempol and also in Gemas as a long-term plan.
