This study centred on a group of rural smallholder farmers actively participating in a food assistance programme for impoverished urban communities in Kuching. The farmers played a pivotal role in supplying vegetables and crops for the food assistance programme. The data were collected through semi-structured individual in-depth interviews.

The insights could serve as a foundation for developing specific solutions by relevant authorities to address rural smallholder farmers’ respective needs.
