Abu Bakar Mahmud Dato', . (1985) Towards achieving more food production in Malaysia. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
This paper highlights on the current status of food production in Malaysia and programmes to be adopted in order to increase the production of the major food crops. While one of the ways to increase food production was by increasing areas planted the National Agricultural Policy stresses on intensifying cultivation rehabilitating and replanting unproductive holdings using high yielding varieties introducing new and underexploited food crops adopting new and effective technology and utilising agroecological zonation for selection of new areas. Increase in local food production would mean increase in income for farmers and considerable saving in foreign exchange as food imports in 1982 totalled M2.945 billion. The strategies for increasing production of the major food crops were also outlined
