‘Moveable’ ceiling price to be introduced to improve food security

PUTRAJAYA: A “moveable” ceiling price for certain food items and improved mechanisms in hiring expatriates and foreign workers are among measures to be taken to improve food security and tackle the shortage of skilled workers in the electrical and electronics sector, says Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

The Prime Minister said the Economic Action Council (EAC) had agreed that a “moveable” ceiling rate be introduced, whereby the maximum price for certain produce would vary according to the items’ input price.
