BAGAN SERAI - Agriculture and Food Security Ministry will continue to focus on implementing programmes capable of giving added value in efforts to increase paddy production in the country.

"The focus of our ministry is to ensure that the main staple food, which is rice, is sufficient," he said in response to a cabinet reshuffle announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anway Ibrahim yesterday which saw him maintaining the post.

He was met after closing the Entrepreneurship and Curriculum Day at Maahad Al-Ehya Assharif Gunung Semanggol here last night.
