INNOVATION AND CHALLENGES IN MALAYSIAN AGRICULTURE

Technological Innovation from Research Institutes

There are many types of research institutes that helps in increasing agriculture process that occurs in Malaysia.

1) GOVERNMENT BODIES 

• MARDI (Malaysian Agricultural Research & Development Institute)
• MPOB (Malaysian Palm Oil Board)
• MCB (Malaysian Cocoa Board)
• MRB (Malaysian Rubber Board FIRM)

2) UNIVERSITIES 

• Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM)
• Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM)

• Universiti Malaya (UM)
• Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS)
• dan lain-lain.

3) PRIVATE SECTORS 

• Sime Darby

Researchers and Innovations in Malaysia

1) OIL PALM 

These video are some research and innovations that have been conducted on Palm in Malaysia. 

• For oil palm there is the product just for fertilizer. The product have been produced by Prof. Dr. Syed Omar Syed Rastan. 
• The product name is AJIB. 

• AJIB is specially formula for the oil palm plantation industry to enhance the FFb yield and better protects the palm from many fungal diseases.

2) RUBBER 

There are of few of innovations that have been made in rubber plantations in Malaysia. The innovations are:

• Puncture tapping or microtapping. 
• New latex-timber clones (LTC)

PUNCTURE TAPPING 

'LTC'

3) COCOA 

WORLD RANKING: malaysia was no longer the main producer of cocoa beans but our country has been ranked as the largets cocoa grinder in the Asia-Pacific region and the fifith bigger grinder in the world.

In 2002 there are addition on biotechnology divisions of Malaysian Cocoa Abroad.

• It will enhance our cocoa product and the quality of cocoa products will respect to safety and health.
• Industrial and pharmaceutical biotechnology in Malaysia also will obtain new products.

4) PADDY

Malaysia aims to raise the yield to 10 tons ha-1 with the use of new technology.

• The new technology such PADDY TRANSPLANTER will helps farmers save their times and also energy. 
• It is also will reduce costs of crop establishment and improve yields.

Like oil palm, paddy also have the product for fertilizer. It is also have been produced by Prof. Dr. Syed Omar Syed Rastan. The products are:

• Vita-grow

 -  Helps doubling yield and producing better.

• Zappa

- Helps enhances rapid germination and tillering.

Approaches to Agriculture Development in Malaysia

 

 

Pineapple harvesting 

Concept of food security

 

Properties of sustainable systems

1. Sustainable systems are equitable.

2. Sustainable systems are efficient.

3. Sustainable systems are flexible.

4. Sustainable systems are principally self-sufficient. Use of locally available labour, soil, water, energy, etc. makes them less vulnerable to import embargoes and other critical factors.

5. Sustainable systems are integrated in synergistic functions.

6. Sustainable systems and society’s institutions are consistent.

 

 

  

AGRICULTURE and MALAYSIA ECONOMY

REQUIREMENT OF FUTURE GLOBAL AGRICULTURE

SMALLHOLDERS

•   The subsistence farmers who cultivate their land for their own consumption.

•  That practice monocropping type of  subsistence farming.
  

National Agricultural Policy (NAP)

•      The latest third NAP (1998-2010)
•      Development programmes

•      Aim
•      To improve the food trade balance
•       Increase export of primary commodities
•       Ensure supply of raw materials for local down stream    industries

Crop Diversification Malaysia

•      Horizontal diversification
•      Vertical diversification

 CHALLENGES OF CROP DIVERSIFICATION

•      Need to reduce labour
•      Strengthen the competitiveness
•      Enhance private sector investment
•      Smallholders need to be transformed
•      More innovative & efficient agricultural practices

BACTERIA

WELL,, last week we learned something about culture tissue and BACTERIAAAAAA !!

bacteria have many types.. let say .. some of them are kind like me.. HEHE .. but some are pathogen.. which mean bad bacteria.. this type of bacteria can cause harmful.

in our body. contained a lots of bacteria.. especially in our digestive system..

see! some bacteria are good and some are bad.

        

in addition,, we are surprisingly know that BACTERIA CAN TALK. 

like human.. we may have multi language.. some goes to bacteria.. they have their own way to communicate..

 they have QUORUM SENSING...

      

  

LET ME SHARE SOMETING AWESOME AND INTERESTING..
