Abstract
The National Agricultural Policy has identified cocoa processing as the main vehicle to sustain the growth of the cocoa industry as well as the catalyst to spur its contribution to overall agriculture value-added. To complement this effort the current import regime for cocoa beans is being gradually liberalised. This paper attempts to elucidate the economic implications of import liberalisation on Malaysian cocoa industry. The results indicate that the abolition of import tax would encourage domestic utilisation and hence downstream processing of cocoa beans
