Better rice yields this year than last


PETALING JAYA: The authorities in the country’s two largest rice-planting regions are expecting a better harvest this year compared to last year when extreme weather destroyed over 17,600ha of the crop.

Muda Agricultural Develop­ment Authority (Mada) and Kemu­bu Agricultural Develop­ment Authority (Kada), which are responsible for the Kedah-Perlis and Kelantan rice bowls respectively, say they have put in place several measures to increase yields, repair damaged farms and reduce the impact of floods and droughts.
