The government will introduce a targeted urban agriculture programme in a shift towards increasing the country’s agricultural output, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Anwar said the success of urban farming programmes in neighbouring Singapore should be explored and emulated for implementation in areas with limited land in urban and suburban areas, starting with Kuala Lumpur.
He said the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security and other ministries and agencies involved had been given a month to submit suitable plans for the programme.
“In addition to continuing our existing efforts in agriculture, we also need to focus on urban agriculture, particularly involving the urban poor.
“I have also asked the ministers (involved) to look into this matter including providing special additional allocations in this field to enhance agricultural activities in urban areas,” he said during the Malaysia MADANI dialogue session at the Central Zone MADANI Rakyat Programme held at the Kuala Selangor Sports Complex, here.
Earlier, Anwar officiated the closing ceremony of the three-day programme which began on Friday.
Also present were Minister of Agriculture and Food Security Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu, Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad and other Cabinet ministers.
