The food supply is sufficient to cater to the needs of the people during Ramadan, despite the country still under the movement control order (MCO), said the Agriculture and Food Industry Ministry

Its deputy minister II Che Abdullah Mat Nawi said the ministry was assured of this by those involved in the chain of supply.

“During Ramadan, food such as fruits will be in high demand and based on information we received the supply is sufficient to cater to the needs of people.

“The ministry and relevant agencies are constantly monitoring the situation,” he told reporters today.

He said the ministry also did not find any issues in terms of food supply so far despite the enforcement of the MCO.
