Abstract
Rice straw and rice husks are the main residues from paddy cultivation generated during the harvesting and milling process. Malaysia is one of the leading producers of paddy. It has gained 0.48 Million tonnes of rice husk with 3 176 593.2 tonnes production of rice straw in a year due to the emerging technological development in Agra-industry. Malaysia’s agriculture department is targeting to improve the productivity of the paddy sector from the current yield from 3 to 5 tonnes per hectare to around 8 tonnes per hectare in 2012 and 9 to 10 tonnes per hectare by 2020. If the target is achieved with 10 tonnes per hectare the output of paddy will be increased to 6 575 474.8 tonnes per year. According to national news agency 200 000 ha idle land in Malaysia will be used for paddy plantation. This will increase to about 30% of paddy production. Parallel to these the production of paddy residue also increases. Malaysia will face the problem regarding the paddy residue or waste management in the future. Unfortunately the burning of rice straw remains the current cultural practice of disposal in Malaysia. Also rice husk are being burned along the road that give the impact to the environment. Hence the further studies are needed to identify the best practice to overcome this problem regarding the paddy residue management in the near future.
