PUTRAJAYA: Vegetables and fruits such as chili, ginger, cabbage, mango and coconut did not reach 100% self-sufficiency ratio for the year 2021, said Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu .
"Food production needs has to be improved because the SSR for 2021 shows that there are still some vegetables and fruits that have not yet reached 100%," he said. Statistics show that Malaysia was still dependent on the import of food items such as vegetables, fruits of moderate and cold climates, as well as animal feed to meet domestic needs, he said.
Under the initiative, companies that invest in subsidiaries to carry out new food production projects were given a tax deduction equal to the amount of investment made for a maximum of three assessment years. Meanwhile, Chan in a press conference said the Agriculture and Food Security Ministry was monitoring the effects faced by farmers across the country following the El Nino phenomenon.
