PUTRAJAYA: Padi farmers are hoping that the memorandum accepted by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) will lead to better livelihoods for farmers nationwide.They are seeking to raise the padi floor price from RM1,300 per tonne to RM1,800 and scrap the proposed Quality Crop Seed Bill.
Malaysia Padi Farmers Brotherhood Association (PeSawah) chairman Abdul Rashid Yob, who led seven buses of farmers to Putrajaya yesterday, said the Prime Minister’s political secretary Chan Ming Kai accepted the memorandum on behalf of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
