Meticulous planning in retail, agriculture sectors ensures stable food supply – Mydin

KUALA LUMPUR, June 6 -- The meticulous planning of the retail sector and the smooth running of the domestic agricultural sector give confidence that the food supply security for the local market is at a strong level, said the Managing Director of Mydin Mohamed Holdings Bhd (Mydin), Datuk Dr Ameer Ali Mydin. Ameer Ali said, in this regard, the supply of essential goods in the country is still seen to be at a stable level even though the world is currently facing uncertainties in the global supply chain. He said that the smooth domestic planting and harvesting season, supported by the availability of agricultural inputs such as fertiliser, was a key factor in ensuring the stability of the country's food market without any signs of shortages in the near future. "We also heard the Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu, state that the supply of urea fertilizer is sufficient for this planting season. "So, for now, there are no signs of that (decrease) because the planting and harvesting seasons are going on as usual, while the supply of fertilizer is also sufficient," he said. He said this when he was a guest on Bernama TV's Ruang Bicara programme titled "Strengthening the Retail Industry, Driving the National Economy" here last night. Regarding imported goods, Ameer Ali said that the local retail industry has taken proactive steps through the advance purchasing method or forward buying to ensure that the availability of imported essential goods in the market is always consistent and sufficient. He also advised consumers not to panic buy because the supply guarantee also covers non-food sectors including textiles and clothing. "I can say that the stability of supply is still guaranteed. We don't need to worry too much but at the same time, let's not waste, don't worry too much and panic," he said. Meanwhile, regarding the large allocation for the Rahmah Cash Contribution (STR) and Rahmah Basic Contribution (SARA) in the 2026 Budget, Ameer Ali praised the government's move which is said to have a multiplier impact on the domestic economy. "Traders are also grateful because the people's spending power is quite low right now. When there is assistance (like this), shops become full and it has a big impact on the economy of small traders," he said. In other developments, Mydin is now actively adapting to changing consumer lifestyles by opening more than 20 new branches this year through the concept of smaller community stores but offering a complete range of basic goods. -- BERNAMA
