ALOR SETAR: Padi farmers in Kedah and Perlis have started the pilot project of harvesting five times every two years to boost local rice production and increase their income.
Muda Agricultural Development Authority chairman Datuk Dr Ismail Salleh said this is also part of the government’s effort to increase the output of locally produced white rice in the future.
Ismail said more padi fields are being used in the switch to the new cultivation system nationally. Currently, he said locally produced rice can only cater to about 65% of the country’s needs or 1.7 million tonnes a year. The remaining supply is imported from Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Bangladesh and India, he added.
Ismail said that in the cultivation method, meticulous adherence to the various phases of the padi planting is vital, while ample water resources are crucial.
