Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad says the rebranding exercise is to differentiate the local red onion — previously coded as BAW-1 by the Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute — from the imported ones that are widely available in Malaysian markets.

Saarani said the BP was cultivated in Kampung Kuala Bikam, Sungkai at the start of the year and that the pre-commercial scale for the pilot project will continue next year.“This initiative aimed to achieve the target of a 30 percent reduction in imported onions by 2030,” he said.
