Malaysia, located in the heart of Southeast Asia, is a country with a rich and diverse culture and economy. In recent years, Malaysia’s economic development has made remarkable achievements, and its major industrial sectors such as manufacturing, agriculture and services have made great progress. It is particularly important for investors to understand the current status and trends of Malaysia’s industry in order to make wise investment decisions.
The Malaysian government has always attached great importance to the development of agriculture and has closely linked it with domestic stable development. Since the early days of independence, the government has invested greater energy in agricultural development to ensure adequate agricultural development and national food supply. At the same time, farmers are wealthy. This is also a problem that the government has been working hard to solve. The characteristic of Malaysia’s agricultural development has always been to use cash crops as the main driving force for agricultural development, and to achieve stable agricultural development through the cultivation of cash crops. Malaysia’s current cultivated land area is 414k㎡, accounting for 30.6% of the arable land area. At the same time, there are a large number of uncultivated wastelands in Sabah and Sarawak. These wastelands are very suitable for the growth of crops, so the country has great potential for agricultural development.
Malaysian agriculture focuses on the development of cash crops. Cash crops mainly include palm oil, rubber, tropical fruits, etc., and a large number of agricultural products such as palm oil, natural rubber, and palm oil kernels are exported. Malaysia’s food production is relatively weak, and domestic production cannot be self-sufficient for a long time. The self-sufficiency rate of rice is only about 65%, and the balance needs to be imported. The government regards rice production as one of the important guarantees to ensure national food security, and its goal is to achieve 83% of rice production. self-sufficiency rate. In addition, Malaysia needs to import a large amount of agricultural products every year to meet domestic living needs, among which fish and seafood are imported in large quantities, followed by dairy products and fresh refrigerated beef and mutton, and thirdly fresh and processed vegetables and fruits. wait. Among imported food crops, corn is mainly imported from China, Thailand, Myanmar, Argentina and other countries, wheat is mainly imported from Australia, Canada, India and the United States, and rice is mainly imported from Thailand, Japan, Australia, Taiwan and Cambodia.
Because Malaysia is located near the equator, it has a tropical rainforest climate and a tropical monsoon climate. There are no obvious four seasons. The temperature difference during the year changes very little. The average temperature is between 26-30°C and there is abundant rainfall throughout the year. Agriculture is an important economic sector in Malaysia. Because it is located in the tropics and is mostly hills and low mountainous areas, the natural conditions for agricultural development are good. The products are mainly cash crops, mainly oil palm, rubber, rice, vegetables, and cocoa. , coconut, pepper, etc., the output and export volume rank among the best in the world, and occupy an important position in the national economy of Maldives.
Rice is Malaysia’s main food crop, with a self-sufficiency rate of about 65%. The most popular agricultural machinery market in Malaysia is tractors, which are mainly used in palm oil harvesting, rice harvesting, rubber plantations, fruit gardens and vegetable farms. More than half of imported tractors come from Japan and China. In addition, the transplanter is also one of the highest-selling agricultural machinery and equipment in the local area.
The Malaysian government has always attached great importance to the development of agriculture. As Malaysia gradually transforms from an agricultural country to an industrialized country, Malaysian agricultural development is facing the problems of agricultural labor shortage and low productivity. The Malaysian government believes that only by vigorously developing agricultural mechanization can we improve agricultural productivity and solve the serious shortage of agricultural labor. The government has also introduced a series of relevant loan policies and financial subsidy measures to promote the development of agricultural mechanization.
