No sudden increase in vegetable prices, situation continues to be monitored – Mohamad Sabu

PUTRAJAYA -- The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (KPKM) will immediately obtain a report from the Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (FAMA) regarding the alleged increase in vegetable prices in Kelantan to RM2 per kilogram. Minister of Agriculture and Food Security Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu said that so far there has been no sudden increase in vegetable prices in most areas, including the Klang Valley, except for certain types of vegetables. "In Kelantan, we will monitor (the prices). I will request a report from FAMA immediately today," he told reporters after launching the Kebuniti Agricultural Information Centre or Gardentopia, here today. Mohamad was commenting on reports of increased vegetable prices in several markets in Kelantan, which have increased by up to RM2 per kilogram due to prolonged hot weather and rising diesel costs. Commenting on the issue of food inflation, although it remained stable, Mohamad said the increase in fertilizer prices, which was one of the factors increasing the cost of raw supplies, was a global challenge facing many countries. He said the issue was also discussed at the international level, including by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) following conflicts in several areas producing raw materials such as phosphate. "It is predicted worldwide that this fertilizer issue will be a problem because the disputed area is involved in phosphate issues and so on. The government will intervene from time to time according to our government's capabilities," he said. Meanwhile, Mohamad assured that the current supply of fertilizer in Malaysia is still sufficient, although agricultural input prices are expected to continue to be monitored over the next two to three months. "Supply is sufficient...we just have to look at the price in the next two to three months. Regarding supply in Malaysia, Alhamdulillah, we at the ministry see that the situation is sufficient. We just monitor the price from time to time," he said. -- BERNAMA
