KUCHING, Oct 5: A total of 95,883 smallholders in Sarawak have been identified as eligible to receive RM400 monthly under the BUDI Agri-Komoditi cash aid, says Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Seri Dr Noraini Ahmad.
She said 35,676 smallholders, or 37.2 per cent of those identified as eligible, had been approved for the assistance as of September 2026.
Noraini said this in her written reply to a Parliamentary oral question from Betong MP Dato Dr Richard Rapu @ Aman Begri today.
She said the BUDI Agri-Komoditi cash aid was introduced as part of the Government’s targeted diesel subsidy rationalisation, with eligible smallholders in Sabah and Sarawak beginning to receive RM400 monthly from June 22.
