Impossible to achieve 100% self-sufficiency in food, says Mat Sabu

KUALA LUMPUR: It is impossible to achieve a 100% self-sufficiency ratio (SSR) in Malaysia as there are certain food items that cannot be produced domestically due to several factors, said Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu.

These factors include economic viability of the crop, climate differences and land resource constraints, he said.
