How many paddy farmers nationwide are expected to benefit from the RM60 million?

Question

Accepted Answer

Approximately 240,000 paddy farmers nationwide are projected to benefit from the RM60 million contribution.

The Farmers’ Organisation Authority (LPP) is currently reviewing the list of eligible paddy farmers to ensure a smooth disbursement of the special assistance provided by Padiberas Nasional Bhd (Bernas). This initiative aims to alleviate the cost of living for farmers across the nation.
Initial Distribution in East Coast States

The initial phase of the special allocation involves a total of 20,598 farmers from three East Coast states: Kelantan, Terengganu, and Pahang. These farmers are expected to receive their assistance, with payments for the East Coast region being distributed no later than January 16.
Nationwide Disbursement in Early 2023

Farmers in other states will receive their share when the remaining balance of the funds is disbursed in early 2023. The total contribution from Bernas amounts to RM60 million, intended to support the farming community.
Purpose of the Special Incentive

This special incentive is provided to paddy farmers through Bernas as a government initiative to help ease their cost of living. It serves as an additional form of support alongside existing input-based and output-based subsidies.
