00:01The government has vowed to strengthen the country's food system to ensure sufficient
00:07supply and access for the people amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
00:13The Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu said the conflict
00:19is not just an external issue, as it has a direct impact on the global food supply chain.
00:24In a Facebook post, Mohamad encouraged the public to play a role by using available space
00:30at home to grow their own produce, helping to reduce dependence on external supplies.
00:36He stressed that even small efforts can have a significant impact over time, contributing
00:42to long-term national food security.
00:45Earlier, on March 13, the government assured that the nation's food supply would remain
00:51insufficient at least until the middle of this year, despite global uncertainty arising
00:56from the conflict.
