KUALA LUMPUR: The Agriculture and Food Security Ministry is confident that the shortage of local white rice in the domestic market will be overcome now that the harvest season has begun in Kedah.
Deputy Minister Chan Foong Hin said the harvest season in Kedah can be a catalyst for the government's efforts and interventions to meet the shortage of rice supply through the Local White Rice Special Programme , which is actively being implemented.

Through the programme, manufacturers were told to increase production by 20% of local white rice supply for the domestic market for a period of one year. Meanwhile, Rural and Regional Development Deputy Minister Datuk Rubiah Wang said the role of Rural Community Centres as a platform for collecting and marketing the products of rural entrepreneurs will be strengthened through the PKD Mobile Programme.She said the PKD Mobile programme, to be launched this year, will ease the burden of rural entrepreneurs so that they do not have to walk far to market their products.
