The Agriculture and Food Security Ministry is restricting the purchase of local white rice to 100kg per person, effective immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the director-general of the agriculture and food security ministry\u2019s padi and rice regulatory division, Azman Mahmood<\/a>, the restriction is put in place with the aim of addressing disruptions of the white rice market.<\/span><\/p>\n

Azman revealed that this move was put in place after his division found out that some traders have been hoarding local white rice, buying up to 5000 -7000kg at once.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why we are implementing this restriction starting from today,\u201d he told reporters at the Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute headquarters yesterday.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Azman, the restriction is in no way permanent, as it will only be imposed until the supply of local white rice normalizes.<\/span><\/p>\n

He also added that the government has sufficient stocks to last six months.<\/span><\/p>\n

The hoarding of local white rice is due to the increase in price for imported rice, which in turn was caused by disruptions faced by the two biggest exporting countries, <\/span>Vietnam<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>India<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to users on Tiktok,<\/a> this has caused supplies of local white rice to dwindle, to the point of scarcity in some areas.<\/p>\n
