IPOH: The jihad (struggle) against middlemen should focus on ensuring market transparency and preventing exploitation, not replacing them in the food supply chain, a lawmaker suggests.

had called on the cooperative movement, through Angkatan Koperasi Kebangsaan Malaysia Berhad , to revive the jihad against middlemen to empower the national food security agenda.

He said without a middleman, a banana grower would not only need to plant and harvest the fruit but also pack, transport and sell it himself.“After he sells the bananas, which hopefully have not become rotten by then, he has to repeat the cycle, and the only guarantee for him is poverty in perpetuity," the PKR lawmaker said in a statement on Monday .

Dr Lee said cases of exploitation of food producers resulted from market inefficiencies stemming from infrastructure, regulatory problems or a lack of transparency. “Upgrading rural roads, Internet access, encouraging automation and improving crop yields are what the government should focus on.
