Kota Bharu: The Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (FAMA) expects the coconut supply in Kelantan will be sufficient for the upcoming Ramadan and Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations. Kelantan FAMA director Wan Faizatul Aniza Ismayatim said the agency had taken several intervention measures to ensure a steady supply for wholesalers and traders.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Wan Faizatul Aniza stated that the FAMA operations centre at the Tunjong Rural Transformation Centre has identified wholesalers and traders in need, with selling prices ranging from RM2.80 to RM3 per kilogramme. She explained that those requiring supply may contact the FAMA operations centre, as stock is received on a scheduled basis every week.

Wan Faizatul Aniza further highlighted that due to the limited number of coconut plantations in Kelantan, FAMA had to source supplies externally. This effort was made in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture and involved gathering district-level data to balance supply and demand.
