BERNAS purchases paddy from farmers at 32 Kilang Beras BERNAS nationwide and 50 purchasing centers (Skim Pusat Belian) located at the premises of participating Bumiputra rice mills nationwide.  The wide distribution of these procurement centers provide better services to farmers enabling them to sell their paddy without having to travel far.

Together with the millers under the Bumiputra Rice Millers Scheme, the groups purchase about 800,000 tonnes paddy annually from local farmers.
