MALAYSIA TO ASK MAS TO LOWER AGRI FREIGHT COSTS
BIRMINGHAM - Malaysian Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Muhyiddin Yassin will ask Malaysia Airlines (MAS) to consider a reasonable freight cost for Malaysian agricultural products as the government moves to introduce the goods to a wider international market.
He said a freight cost that was similar to or higher than that for other goods would not help the government's mission.
