KUALA LUMPUR: It is impossible to achieve a 100% self-sufficiency ratio (SSR) in Malaysia as there are certain food items that cannot be produced domestically due to several factors, said Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu.
THE country’s self-sufficiency ratio (SSR) received a boost with the opening of a chilli fertigation farm in Mukim Sermin, Segamat, says Johor agriculture, agro-based industry, and rural committee chairman Datuk Zahari Sarip.
RISING food inflation has led to increasing concerns on food security.
WHETHER in peacetime or war, the issues of food security and food sufficiency have always taken centre stage in the affairs of humankind. Starving an enemy into submission is still a valid war strategy.
