PUTRAJAYA: A total of 42 fresh markets under the Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (Fama) have recorded RM18.9mil in sales in the past 10 days. Meanwhile, farmer Zainal Marlan, 42, said the PSTs had helped him to continue with his business since MCO 1.0 in March last year. “The PST ensures that farmers continue to sell (their products) and helps in reducing loss because of crop damage due to MCO, ” he said. “The place is open and spacious and there is also a drive-thru service for customers who buy online. “There are fewer customers, but I’m collaborating with a friend to sell dragon fruits via home delivery, ” he said.
