Yesterday, it was reported that the Federation of Malaysian Vegetables Farmers’ Association adviser Tan So Tiok had said the federation has about 6,000 members nationwide, and many may cease operations due to soaring fertiliser and pesticide prices.

Tan had further said the situation was compounded by a shortage of farmworkers as many have pivoted to the construction and plantations sectors for higher pay.
