THAT, unfortunately has provided an opportunity for the READ : Tikus Tikus kantor to have a jolly good time, which according to the blogger Thick As Brick is a ripe recipe for another impending rich shortage in Malaysia.
IN the rice bowl of Malaysia, READ : The paddy planting session has been delayed due to a shortage of certified seeds.
NOW who is the culprit here? Well it is definitely the The Agriculture and Food Industries Ministry (Mafi),because why limit the number of companies that can provide quality seeds, if you feel that the existing firms are not up to the mark?
IN defence, of the existing firms supplying seeds to the paddy farmers, the seed providers are not allowed to output the maximum number of seeds which they can actually come out with.
THERE are granaries in Kedah which can produce 40,000 seeds, but MAFI have tied them down to a quota of only 14,000 seeds per year.
WHY is that so MAFI?
