Total Land Area Damaged by Floods Last Year Reached Over 3,200 Hectares

Last year's flood disaster significantly impacted agricultural land within the Muda Agricultural Development Authority (Mada) area, causing damage to a total of 3,276.4 hectares. This extensive damage affected numerous farmers and necessitated a substantial allocation from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (MAFS) to provide assistance.
Allocation for Flood-Affected Farmers

The MAFS has allocated RM3.28 million through the Paddy Crop Disaster Fund (TBTP) to support the 2,546 Mada farmers affected by the floods. This financial aid is intended to alleviate the financial burdens faced by these farmers and to provide the necessary capital for their planting activities in the current Season 1/2024, which commenced on April 17.
Regional Impact of Flood Damage

The flood damage occurred across different regions managed by Mada. The specific breakdown of the allocation highlights the distribution of aid to various regions, reflecting the extent of the impact. Region I in Perlis received RM59,544 for 35 farmers, Region II Jitra received RM705,912 for 556 farmers, Region III Pendang received RM1.8 million for 1,156 farmers, and Region IV Kota Sarang Semut received RM715,415 for 789 farmers.
Commitment to Farmer Welfare

The allocation of these funds underscores the ministry's commitment, through Mada, to the welfare of farmers in the Muda area. This initiative is part of a broader commitment by MAFS and its agencies to enhance the welfare and empowerment of all agricultural stakeholders, including paddy farmers.
