Fama asked to subsidise the transport of rice to rural Sabah and Sarawak

KOTA KINABALU: The Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (Fama) will be asked to subsidise the transportation of imported white rice to the rural areas in Sabah and Sarawak.

Agriculture and Food Security Deputy Minister Datuk Chan Foong Hin said that this would ensure that people in rural areas would benefit from the subsidised pricing.
