More than 26,000ha of paddy fields under the supervision of the Kemubu Agricultural Development Authority (Kada) and in non-granary areas are expected to be damaged after being submerged by floods over the past few days.

Kelantan Farmers Association (Pesak) chairperson Zuha Ismail said most affected areas had been recently sown with seeds a few weeks ago, while some were awaiting harvest.

“We delayed the sowing process for the 1/2025 season due to earlier water supply issues. However, farmers are now facing losses again as floods have inundated almost all of Kelantan.
