KOTA KINABALU: Sabah is working towards reviving the state padi board in order to boost the production of rice, said Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.
The Chief Minister said the re-establishment of the board is expected to increase Sabah's rice self-sufficiency level to 60% by 2030.
“We hope that the revival of the Sabah Paddy Board will be able to increase the SSL on rice and thus reduce imports,” he added. “I am proud of the hard work by Maffi and agencies under it as well as the federal government agencies that have worked together to achieve the goal of increasing the SSL of all types of food,” he said.
“It is being developed in an integrated manner by Maffi and its agencies including the Rural Development Corporation, the Agriculture Department as well as the Irrigation and Drainage Department, with the involvement of the private sector and residents in Trusan Sapi as well,” Hajiji said.
