PETALING JAYA: Padi farmers express dissatisfaction over the increase in the padi floor price to only RM1,500, arguing that merely 20% of the subsidies would benefit them as padi price incentives.
Malaysia Padi Farmers Brotherhood Association (PeSawah) chairman Abdul Rashid Yob who represents the padi farmer associations, said this in response to the Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu's announcement that the minimum price for padi which millers will buy from farmers has been adjusted to RM1,500 per tonne on Thursday (Feb 13).
