Padi farms being revived but buffaloes problem

Kota Kinabalu: The current Movement control Orders to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and supermarkets limiting consumers to only one pack of 10kg rice per person is prompting once padi growing communities to revive idle lands.

 The villagers of Tinuhan and neighbouring Lapasan Ulu decided to go back to growing their own padi and huge efforts have been made to bring old padi fields back to production, including repairing irrigation and drainage system , constructing ridges , flattening and terracing the area since June 2020.

So far, 39 families have planted rice of delicious and nutritious varieties, with credit citing a raft of support for the project from Yayasan Hasanah, Kampong Campus, Sapulut Forest Development in Kalabakan and  DID Sabah.
