KUCHING, March 26 — Farmers, breeders and fishermen in Sarawak are allowed to sell their produce between 7am and 7pm at premises approved by local councils, the state Disaster Management Committee said today.

The committee also said they are allowed to carry on with their daily routine, such as farming or fishing in the open sea during the imposition of the movement control order (MCO) which has been extended to April 14.
