In Kedah, we want to go in that direction. (However) we cannot blame the farmers either because the irrigation system is also important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe cannot survive on five tonnes per hectare. In Sekinchan, we get between eight and 10 tonnes per hectare. If we can get six tonnes or more, we will have enough rice in Malaysia. Now, farmers have taken this seriously,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mohamad said the method of planting rice through a large-scale scheme such as in Sekinchan could be practised by rice farmers in Kedah with the help and cooperation of the Muda Agricultural Development Authority and Padiberas Nasional Bhd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JITRA: The Agriculture and Food Security Ministry will explore saltwater rice cultivation methods in an effort to increase the country\u2019s rice production.
