Mat Sabu urges relevant groups to play role in resolving middleman issue faced by fishermen


CHUKAI: The Malaysian Fisheries Development Authority Board and the National Fishermen's Association need to play a role in resolving the issue of "middleman” to ensure the price of fish and other seafood is affordable for all buyers.

Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu said the issue has long been a thorn in the supply chain of fishermen's catch and is one of the factors contributing to its high price, especially in the big towns.
