According to data provided by the Malaysian Agriculture Ministry, the overall production of fruits last year is 1.827 million tons, with pineapples topping the list at 537,231 tons. As for vegetables, last year's production volume stands at 1.163 million tons, with tomatoes leading at 194,305 tons.
The combined production of fruits and vegetables showcases an upward trend last year, exemplifying the country's food availability and sufficiency says Deputy Agriculture and Food Security Minister Chan Foong Hin. Chan says, however, it is important to note that the ministry's data also shows that the growth or yield is not uniform across all types of produce.
