Strict monitoring and enforcement on local rice production needed, says Kedah MCA leader

ALOR SETAR: The Agriculture and Food Security Ministry should establish an effective monitoring and enforcement mechanism in managing rice-related matters, especially at the production level, says a Kedah MCA leader.

Alor Setar MCA division chairman Tan Chee Hiong claimed that difficulties in sourcing for local rice in the market had given the impression that farmers were not harvesting rice at all.
