SOCIOECONOMIC and quality-of-life issues are priorities among Malaysians for the unity government to address, according to a recent survey titled 100 Days of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s Administration as Prime Minister.
Under “national issues and citizen’s concerns”, socioeconomic issues such as cost of living, price of goods and inflation are an overwhelming area of concern for Malaysians.
The consumption of chicken meat per capita was the highest at 46.1kg per year followed by chicken and duck eggs at 20.8kg a year . Dr Sarena noted that a low import bill doesn’t necessarily mean that we are food secure. We could produce all the food needed to be consumed locally but at what expense? We’d have to clear more land and raze more forests to create agricultural land suited to commonly consumed crops, all at the expense of taxpayers.
During the first session of Budget 2023, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said that Padiberas Nasional Berhad will share its profits from rice imports by contributing 30% of its net profit to paddy farmers. Despite the fact that the ministry had launched a number of development programmes like the Young AgroPreneur Programme and My Future Agro, there still exists a negative perception of farming as a profession although that is changing with younger generations taking up urban farming.
Coinciding with that, Malaysians have experienced diet diversification over the years, stemming from economic growth and rising citizen wealth.
