Ismail Sabri Yaakob has given his assurances to review the rubber market price set for the Rubber Production Incentive (IPG) if he returns to lead the government after the 15th general election (GE15).

The caretaker prime minister said he was aware of many parties requesting for the rubber market price, which was previously set at RM2.50 per kg through IPG, to be increased.

“Salim (chairperson of Risda) also raised the issue in Parliament. I have seen many requesting that the rate of RM2.50 (per kg) be increased, I have also discussed it with the finance minister.

“We will look into this matter, Insya-Allah. If we are given the mandate to govern again, we will look into this matter,” he said.

He said this when officiating the Prosperous Malaysian Family Smallholders programme organised by Risda today, which was also attended by Risda chairperson Mohd Salim Mohd Sharif.
