That's just rice! We import many more essential food items! Now that ringgit has weaken at it's historical lowest, price of essential food items will only go up!

Our lawmakers on both side are useless! They don't seat down and sort out our messy domestic food production! Agriculture is a huge business if done right! It should have enriched our farmers but unfortunately our farmers remain poor!
Problem of course is the middlemen! Government after donkey years still unable to connect demand and supply! And so farmers rely on middlemen to sell their products! Of course middlemen will buy at cheapest and sell at highest providing transport and sales of agriculture products!
