The 'Jom Beli Lokal' campaign, by the ministry of domestic trade and cost of living, is aimed at boosting sales of local products, strengthening the domestic economy, and supporting small enterprises. On July 5, the agriculture and food security ministry will launch its 'Eat Local Fruits' campaign in Tawau, Sabah, which will later be expanded nationwide. The Jom Beli Lokal initiative will help increase income for local entrepreneurs and showcases the quality of local products as competitive alternatives,' said domestic trade and cost of living minister Armizan Mohd Ali at the launch in Iskandar Puteri today, reported Bernama. The campaign will involve the government, private sector, and civil society, with promotions at shops and expanded efforts through online platforms such as TikTok, Shopee, and Lazada. Previous campaigns in 2023 and 2024 have generated RM347 million in sales from nearly 700,000 product listings online.

(Bernama pic) In Johor Bahru, agriculture and food security minister Mohamad Sabu said the government will strengthen the Eat Local Fruits campaign to reduce reliance on imported fruits and boost farmers' income. He urged all federal and state agencies to serve local fruits at official events to show support for farmers. Local fruits such as pineapples, durians, jackfruit, and avocados have shown strong domestic and export market potential, he said. The campaign comes after Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim ordered government departments to stop using imported food at official events. Mohamad also praised the Malaysian Pineapple Industry Board for raising pineapple output beyond RM1 billion and commended Sarawak's development of the Sarawak Gold 1 variety, which matures faster and is disease-resistant.

Raub durian farmers seek to drop appeal over eviction case
The farmers' applied to initiate judicial review proceedings against the state government last year against its decision to lease 2,167ha of farm land to Royal Pahang Durian Resources. (Facebook pic) PETALING JAYA : A group of durian farmers in Raub are seeking to drop their appeal against a High Court ruling that dismissed their application for a judicial review of an eviction notice served on them by the Pahang government in 2020. The legal firm representing the farmers said in a letter yesterday they had been instructed to withdraw the appeal, with no order as to costs. The defendants, comprising the Pahang government, Royal Pahang Durian Resources PKPP Sdn Bhd, and several others, were given seven days to convey any objections. The farmers' application for a judicial review was dismissed by the High Court judge last year. The farmers had filed the application after the state government decided to lease the 2,167ha of farm land to Royal Pahang Durian Resources. Justice Radzi Harun also rejected an application to review the state's move to sublease the land with the mandatory requirement that durians farmed be sold to a single entity nominated by Royal Pahang Durian Resources. Royal Pahang Durian Resources executive director Steven Mun confirmed receiving the letter, but said the farmers' application had yet to be filed in court. 'We hope the necessary filings will be made at the Court of Appeal shortly,' he told FMT. He said the resolution of the dispute paves the way for a structured arrangement where farmers are granted a 30-year lease, with an option to renew for another 30 years subject to state approval. He said under the terms offered to the farmers, Royal Pahang Durian Resources will purchase the durians from these farms 'thereby regulating the supply chain and ensuring that exports meet the certifications required by importing countries'. Mun said importing countries were increasingly requiring that durian exports were certified and met the standards of the Malaysian Good Agricultural Practices scheme.
