SEBUYAU: 50,000ha of land has been identified in Sabah and Sarawak for planting rice, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
The Deputy Prime Minister said the matter had been agreed in principle by Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg, but its implementation would require some time.
"The type of padi to be planted will be according to the suitability of the land in Sabah and Sarawak. I think the cost here is quite high, but that is a different matter, what is important is that there must be self-sufficiency for rice supply," he said. Ahmad Zahid said residents in the rural and interior areas must be given priority for any development project, especially in Sarawak itself, where the rural population is about 1.4 million.
