PUTRAJAYA, Sept 26 (Bernama) — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim wants cooperation between agencies under the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (KPKM) to be strengthened to ensure that the problems faced by farmers and fishermen are addressed and resolved effectively.
He said the problems plaguing these groups cannot be addressed by one agency alone, but rather require an integrated approach that encompasses various parties.
“The solution to farmers’ problems, for example, does not only lie with the Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (FAMA), but it could involve the Department of Agriculture, the LPP (Farmers’ Organisation Authority), and any other bodies or agencies that can coordinate.
“What FAMA and the KPKM are doing is important because when prices or agricultural produce are guaranteed, we can insist on increasing production.”
Anwar said this at the 40th National Farmers’ Market anniversary and the launch of Putrajaya Farmers’ Market at Precinct 4, here today.
