<![CDATA[35,676 Sarawak smallholders approved for BUDI monthly aid]]>Some 95,883 Sarawak smallholders had been identified as eligible for RM400 a month under BUDI Agri-Komoditi, but 35,676 applications — 37.2 per cent — had been approved by September 2026. DayakDaily reported the figures on October 5, citing the Plantation and Commodities Minister’s written parliamentary reply.

The eligible group comprises 37,631 oil-palm, 19,644 rubber, 555 cocoa and 38,053 pepper smallholders. The approval count is a separate measure from eligibility: it does not mean every grower identified in the total had an approved application or had received payment.

The reply described BUDI Agri-Komoditi as part of the targeted diesel-subsidy rationalisation. It said eligible smallholders in Sabah and Sarawak began receiving RM400 monthly from June 22. The ministry also cited agency hotlines and in-person outreach, but the report did not list a contact number or application deadline.
