     2 systems

    i) Plantation sector
     single crop cultivation (economic value
    crop)
     Larger scale (more than 40 ha)
     rubber, oil palm, coconuts, cocoa,
    pineapples, sugar and tea etc
     plantation management is more systematic
     using modern technology and hired labour.
    ii) Smallholder
     cultivate small areas

     production capacity is low

     limited technology

     disorganised farm management practices


    SMALLHOLDERS

     1) the subsistence farmers who cultivate their land for


    their own consumption
     sell the produce in the marketplace or to the middleman.
     practice mixed cropping systems ( vegetables and fruit trees)
     others mixed cropping and livestock farming systems
     2) those that practice monocropping type of
    subsistence farming.
     farmers cultivate their land with commodity crops such as
    rubber, cocoa, or oil palm
    Smallholders: government had allocated
    RM297 million under NKEA for 2011-2013 to
    Federal Land Development assist smallholders to replant oil palm in the
    Authority (FELDA) - an country (theborneopost.com – ‘RM297 mln to help oil palm
    agency that oversees smallholders ‘ - 18/3/2012)

    National Agricultural Policy (NAP).
     The latest third NAP (NAP3)-(1998-2010)
     Development programs
     Aim:
     i) to improve the food trade balance (export balance
    the import)
     ii) increasing export of primary commodities

     iii) ensuring supply of raw materials for local


    downstream industries.

    National food security: Rice as


    staple crop is under pressure across
    the developing world – 3rd NAP
    includes further development of agro-
    food sub-sector as well as agro-based
    industries.

     growth in livestock production is mainly attributed to the
    improvement in animal husbandry and the shifting from
    traditional to commercial farming practices
    FACTORS TO GROWTH IN
    LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION
     Shifting from traditional to commercial farming practices
     Increase integrated beef cattle farming in rubber and oil
    palm plantations.
     Poultry production: integrated poultry farming system
    introduced by fast-food chains such as Kentucky Fried
    Chicken.
    Poultry is the most popular meat consumed due to pricing
    and religious acceptability.
     Fruits and vegetables: government efforts in
    consolidating small orchards into larger organized farms
    and instituting group farming projects.

    Integrated Poultry
    Farming System :
    the operation
    consists of breeder
    farms and hatchery,
    feedmills, poultry
    farms, contract
    broiler farming and

    CROP DIVERSIFICATION IN
    MALAYSIA
     1) horizontal diversification
     Oil palm, rubber, cocoa and rice have been and continue to be
    the major crops grown by the private and public sectors.
    However, other crops such as coconut, tropical fruits, vegetables,
    flowers, annual crops etc., are being grown by the smallholders
    and the private sector.
     2) vertical diversification
     refers to the upstream and downstream activities of a particular
    crop/crops
     primary production (farm products)  primary and secondary
    processing  finished products.
     The vertical variant gives increasing emphasis to intra and inter-
    sector linkages thereby developing the relevant value chain in
    order to be competitive.

    Paddy/Rice

    Coconut Tropical Fruits


    CHALLENGES of CROP
    DIVERSIFICATION
     need to reduce labour requirements in
    agriculture need to maximize land utilization
     strengthen the competitiveness of Malaysian
    agriculture
     need to enhance private sector investment in
    food production
     smallholders need to be transformed into a
    more commercial sector
     more innovative and efficient agricultural
    practices
    Reducing Labour Requirements
