JASIN: The Melaka government will introduce Beras Melaka next month in efforts to revitalise the rice industry and support the country's rice production, said State Rural Development, Agriculture and Food Security Committee chairman Datuk Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh.
He said Melaka had produced the MR 297 seed, a high-yield rice variety, adding that Beras Melaka is processed from rice seeds that cannot be used as planting material.
