Food imports expected to decrease significantly in Malaysia due to investments in the local vegetable sector

Private investment and government-owned enterprises (GLCs) in Malaysia, which currently grow vegetables on a large scale, are expected to significantly reduce national food imports within the next two to three years. Investment in the vegetable sector will provide the fastest return to reduce food import bills, which currently reach RM60 billion. Among the vegetables grown are everyday vegetables such as spinach, carrots, celery and more.
