Padi farmers: Harvester rent increase is unreasonable

JERLUN: Farmers are urging padi harvester operators to review their proposal to increase the rental rate of machines from RM140 to RM200 for a row (0.30ha) of padi crops so as not to burden them.

Farmer Fisol Omar, 61, from Alor Biak here said the rental rate increase was very sudden and does not take the actual cost into account.
