The document provides an overview of Malaysia's agriculture sector. It is divided into two sub-sectors: the estate sub-sector which is highly commercialized and efficiently managed, and the smallholders' sub-sector which is less commercialized and efficient. The agriculture sector has transformed over time from being the main economic driver to now accounting for about 8% of GDP. The government aims to further increase competitiveness and productivity through policies that promote mechanization, commercialization, and value addition activities.

15. National Agricultural Policy (Background) Since 1984, three National Agricultural Policy (NAP) were formulated to develop the agricultural sector: Emphasis on NAP1 (1984-1991):- To develop the export oriented sector Current situation : abundant labor force expansionary economic policy adequate land resources commodity/ plantation (palm oil/ cocoa) infrastructure
16. 1 st National Agriculture Policy (1984-1991) Focus on expansionary policy on export crop i.e. oil palm & cocoa Abundant land & adequate manpower Government invested heavily on infrastructure institutional building new land developments for oil palm & cocoa in-situ development to resolve uneconomic farm size & low productivity among small holders 1st NAP
17. Emphasis of NAP 2 (1992-1997): Increasing productivity, efficiency & competitiveness Increasing land areas for palm oil (plantation crop) Development of agro-based industry National Agricultural Policy (Background)
