NKEA - Agriculture


Agriculture - Where we are today???

.

The agriculture sector plays an important role in Malaysia’s economic development—providing rural employment, uplifting rural incomes and ensuring national food security. Excluding industrial crops such as palm oil and rubber, the agriculture sector contributed RM20 billion or 4 percent of Malaysia’s GNI in 2009.


.

Traditionally labelled as the poor man’s sector, the face of agriculture is slowly changing as entrepreneurs in diverse businesses like swiftlet nest-ranching and large-scale paddy (rice) farmers are able to move up to Malaysia’s high-income group. Vision for the futureBy 2020 agriculture will be transformed into agribusiness, moving towards a model that is inclusive but simultaneously anchored on market needs, economies of scale and value chain integration. Malaysia will focus on large global markets with high growth potential such as aquaculture and premium processed foods, while maintaining a strong presence in strategic sub-sectors such as paddy and livestock to ensure national food security. To do so, we will need to capitalise on natural resources while enhancing productivity and adopting a truly demand-driven approach.


.

Targets and aspirationsThe Agriculture NKEA is targetted to raise total GNI contribution by RM34 billion to reach RM49 billion by 2020. The NKEA will create an additional 75,000 jobs, mostly in rural areas, where we target to increase the incomes of farmers participating in our initiatives by two to four times.The NKEA plans to bridge this gap through 16 EPPs that catalyse the establishment of market-driven, industrial scale and integrated agriculture-related businesses along four themes. Capitalising on Malaysia’s competitive advantageWe aim to unlock value from Malaysia’s biodiversity, including developing our diverse natural herbs into premium herbal products, commercialising our unique native seaweed varieties, expanding swiftlet nest-production, farming through integrated cage aquaculture systems and rearing cattle in oil palm estates. Tapping premium marketsWe will focus efforts on expanding production of premium grade fruit and vegetables and certified shrimps for export as well as developing premium processed foods and introducing a fragrant rice variety for non-irrigated areas.


.

Ensuring food security objectives are consistent with increasing GNIThe Government will ensure that food security objectives are met. As the population continues to grow, these EPPs will scale up and strengthen productivity of paddy farming and cattle ranching as well as establish local dairy clusters with the help of foreign players to help meet increasing demand. Expanding participation in the regional value chainWe aim to expand our participation in the region by acquiring foreign frms, undertaking contract farming activities overseas and providing regional services in niche areas such as molecular marker discovery and validation for breeding.


.

Enabling growthIn addition, five key enablers are required to support the implementation of the EPPs and business opportunities ranging from providing incentives for anchor companies (to transform from small-scale production-centric activities to large-scale, market-centric approach) to strengthening adoption of good agricultural practices, making regulatory changes, strengthening logistics and ensuring a sufficient pipeline of human capital.

Malaysian Economic Transformation

"NKEA: Agriculture Key EPPs include tapping premium markets, ensuring food security and increasing participation in the regional food supply chain."
Malaysian Economic Transformation: Pemandu National Key Economic Areas Explained Wednesday, 16 March 2011 (TIOS Daily Digest) - Malaysia’s transformation is characterized by government and economic transformation programs laid out by the Najib administration in an effort to achieve high-income nation status while fostering a sustainable and inclusive growth. The government defines the high-income threshold at per capita income of about RM48,000 or USD$15,000 by 2020, based on the World Bank’s definition of high-income. To reach its targets Malaysia will need to achieve an annual real growth rate of about 6 percent in the next 10 years. This is the first time a reform effort of this scope has ever been undertaken in Malaysia and the program provides strong focus on a few key growth engines selected based on economic and financial analysis.

.

The 12 National Key Economic Areas (NKEAs) are expected to make substantial contributions to Malaysia’s economic performance and they are receiving prioritized public investment and policy support. Under the 12 NKEAs the government has identified 131-entry point projects (EPPs) expected to have concrete impacts on the growth of the economy. The EPPs and other business opportunities identified under each NKEA are anchored to how much they contribute to Growth National Income (GNI). Companies, local or foreign, whose projects qualify under any of the NKEAs are granted direct facilitation from some of the governments most important stakeholders including the Prime Minister, Minister of International Trade and Industry and the Malaysian Investment Development Authority.


.

These projects are not government sponsored initiatives and 92 percent of investment across the various projects is expected to come from the private sector and have included major investments from companies such as Royal Dutch Shell, General Electric, Schlumberger, ExxonMobil as well as a host of domestic players. In May 2010, a thousand-person workshop was run to help identify the NKEAs and the government has continued to foster private sector engagement with high levels of transparency and regular announcements of projects. A number of labs were run in June 2010 with 500 public and private sector leaders coming together in contribution to the development of what eventually was to become the NKEAs. Open days were conducted in the country’s biggest cities, such as Kuala Lumpur, Sabah and Sarawak and 5,500 visitors from the business community, multinational corporations and the media attended providing further input.


.

NKEA: Greater Kuala Lumpur/Klang Valley Key EPPs include a new high-speed rail system and internal and external immigration programs to promote increased headquarter relocation for big companies. MMC and Gamuda has entered into a joint venture to developed the rail system. NKEA: Oil, Gas and Energy Key EPPs include projects that contribute to sustaining oil and gas production, enhancing downstream activities and positioning Malaysia as an Asian hub for oil field services. ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell and a local consortium led by Dialog Group have invested heavily in NKEA Oil, Gas and Energy projects. NKEA: Financial Services Key EPPs are targeted at companies and projects that engage in developing new subsectors for growth, revitalizing capital markets and tapping external markets for growth. NKEA: Wholesale and Retail Key EPPs include company initiatives to grow large retail businesses, such as those undertaken by Carrefour and Tesco and modernizing SME retailers and boosting retail expenditure of tourists. NKEA: Palm Oil Key EPPs include projects that bolster upstream productivity and sustainability and grow the strength and volume of the downstream sector. NKEA: Tourism Key EPPs include bolstering Malaysia’s luxury market, such as the CMY Capital project to introduce the St Regis hotel and YTL Hotels’ investment in refurbishing existing hotels as well as projects targeted at expanding Malaysia’s nature tourism offerings. NKEA: Electronics and Electrical Key EPPs include projects in solar, such as that undertaken by UOA Solar, light emitting diodes, such as that undertaken by General Electric and industrial electronics. NKEA: Business Services Key EPPs include projects that contribute to accelerating growth in existing business service sectors and developing new areas of expertise.


.

NKEA: Communication Content and Infrastructure Key EPPs include improving Malaysia’s domestic capability and advancing knowledge based industry in e-learning, e-healthcare and e-government. For example, Telekom Malaysia (TM), PT XL Axiata and PT Mora Telematika have invested heavily in a new cable system. NKEA: Education Key EPPs include projects aimed at increasing educational capacity, concentration and specialization initiatives and creating an education hub in Malaysia, such as the development of Asia E-University.


.

NKEA: Agriculture Key EPPs include tapping premium markets, ensuring food security and increasing participation in the regional food supply chain.


.

NKEA: Healthcare Key EPPs include initiatives that can make a difference immediately and opportunities in generic drugs and expanding the health travel industry. Written by Joshua Brown Back to top
