Guest: Professor Datin Sri Paduka Dr Fatimah Mohamed Arshad, Research Fellow, Institute of Agricultural and Food Policy Studies, University Putra Malaysia
Last week, the government announced plans to introduce a new category of white rice known as Beras Putih Malaysia Madani to replace the existing local and imported categories.

We speak to Prof. Dr. Fatimah Arshad of UPM to better understand the flaws in our rice agricultural industry.
