Deficient of good tested planting materials lack of high yielding varieties and varieties resistant to pests and diseases insufficient information on crop production management and excessive crop losses were identified as technical constraints to encourage development of large scale food production. Concerted research effort clearly identified priorities of food crops and well defined research and development programme would be a logical step to achieve success in food crop industry in Malaysia.

Abstract

Technical prospects and constraints to food crop production was highlighted. Technically the prospects to increase food crop production appeared to be good. Land was not a limiting factor. Other technical inputs such as fertilizers chemicals and machinery were easily available locally. Deficient of good tested planting materials lack of high yielding varieties and varieties resistant to pests and diseases insufficient information on crop production management and excessive crop losses were identified as technical constraints to encourage development of large scale food production. Concerted research effort clearly identified priorities of food crops and well defined research and development programme would be a logical step to achieve success in food crop industry in Malaysia.
