KUALA LUMPUR, March 23 — Vegetable prices in Malaysia are expected to rise gradually due to surging production costs, according to Cameron Highlands Malay Farmers Association chairman Abd Rahman Syed Abd Rashid. He warned that prices could spike up to 50 per cent in the coming weeks before stabilising at around 30 per cent higher.
Rising fertiliser and diesel costs, essential for machinery and logistics, are driving the increase. Meanwhile, Malaysia Muslim Consumers Association (PPIM) activist Nadzim Johan urged households to adopt prudent spending and consider small-scale gardening, including hydroponics, to ease expenses.
He also suggested schools and clubs use hydroponic projects to generate income and foster interest in science. The Middle East crisis has further raised fuel costs, adding pressure to basic goods prices.
