KUBANG PASU: Ketum growers in the state are urged to switch to other commercial crops so as not to contravene existing regulations namely provisions in the National Land Code.

In making the call Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mukhriz Tun Mahathir said though studies conducted with the relevant agencies have found that profits reaped from these crops would not be much compared to ketum, but it is much safer to cultivate them as they are legitimate cash crops.
