Padi farmers association objects to lower price of padi


PETALING JAYA: A padi farmers' association has vehemently objected to reducing the price of padi to RM1,300 per metric tonne from the current price of RM1,500 to RM1,800.

"This the pricing set by rice mill operators in a recent meeting with the padi and rice director-general is unfair and fails to represent the actual costs of rice production accurately, which has increased," said “Pertubuhan Persaudaraan Pesawah Malaysia” (Pesawah).
