Dear Langit Community,
As we start the new year, we would like to thank each and every one of you for your continued support in the past 5 years. The past 1 year has been extremely tough as the world had to come to terms with the COVID-19 pandemic. Like all businesses, we were not spared but thankfully, with your strong support, we pulled through.
In the past year, demand for essential items soared. Long Semadoh rice saw a surge of demand at the community’s local town. This has both positive and not-so-positive repercussions. On the one hand, our farmers are benefitting from the higher demand and hence higher price that their rice can command. On the other, our cost of procuring rice has also increased drastically.
We know that everyone is bearing the brunt of the economic hit, so while the cost of procurement has climbed more than 10% in the past year, LANGIT has been shouldering all of the additional cost. The cost of procurement has now surged by 20% and we at LANGIT are no longer able to absorb such an exponential increase.
This is ultimately, why we had to reluctantly resort to an adjustment of price for all heirloom rice and grains from Long Semadoh starting from 1 April 2021; a first for us after being in operation for 5 years.
This is the new price list (starting from 1 April 2021):
Beras Adan 960g – RM21
Beras Salleh 960g – RM21
Pulut Buda 950g - RM21
Beras Sia’ 950g – RM23
Pulut Sia’ 950g - RM23
Beras Keladi 950g – RM23
Beras Rumie 950g – RM23
Pulut Item 950g - RM23
Beras Adan 5Kg – RM95
Beras Salleh 5Kg – RM95
Beras Sia’ 5Kg – RM105
Beras Keladi 5Kg – RM105
Beras Rumie 5Kg – RM105
We wish that 2021 will be kinder to all of us and your favourite rice will continue to serve you and your loved ones well. We sincerely thank you for your support thus far and hope that you will continue to do so in future.
With lotsa love,
Team Langit
