Deputy Minister Datuk Dr Abdul Rahman Junaidi is calling for the revival of weekly farmers markets in Kuching to give residents better access to fresh, affordable produce. The Pantai Damai assemblyman made the proposal at the Jualan Agro Sarawakku Sayang (JASS) programme held at Esplanade Gersik on Sunday (May 24). According to him, Esplanade Gersik was once home to a weekly farmers market organised by the Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (FAMA) around seven to eight years ago. He hopes FAMA, together with the Ministry of Food Industry, Commodity, and Regional Development, along with DBKU (Kuching North City Commission), can bring it back. "Reviving such programmes would help residents obtain fresh food products at reasonable prices," he said. Details: Discussions will be held with FAMA to explore regular monthly or quarterly programmes Also proposing the JASS programme be reintroduced on a regular basis in Kuching Dr Abdul Rahman urged residents to take up urban farming initiatives organised by DBKU to reduce household food expenses Growing vegetables at home can promote self-sufficiency and contribute to food security Location: Esplanade Gersik, Kuching Source: https://dayakdaily.com/pantai-damai-rep-pushes-revival-of-weekly-farmers-market-in-kuching-for-affordable-fresh-food/ What do you think — would you visit a weekly farmers market in Kuching?
