KUCHING (Feb 15): The State Disaster Management Committee (SDMC) has decided not to allow ‘pasar tani’ and ‘pasar tamu’ to operate in Covid-19 red zones in the state, said deputy chief minister and SDMC chairman Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas.
“The first step we take is to ensure the agricultural products that can be sold will be sold. Therefore, we have instructed the local Department of Agriculture and Farmers’ Organisation to purchase the products.
“For farmers who have problems selling their agricultural produce, they are to contact the Department of Agriculture in their respective division or district,” he told a press conference on Covid-19 updates today.
