Info

MALAYSIA consists of a peninsula, bordering Thailand in the north, and the northwestern side of the island of Borneo, with a total of 330,000 km 2 and a population of 21.8 million. Most of the peninsula is covered in tropical forest, much of it on a central mountain range. Coastal plains dominate the Borneo states and the interior is mountainous. About a quarter of the workforce is engaged in agriculture; 3% of the land is arable. Agriculture is 12% of the GDP. General information • GNI per capita PPP$, 2000: 8,330 • Internal renewable water resources: 456 km 3 • Main food consumed: rice, oil and fat, sugar and honey, wheat, meat • Rice consumption, 1999: 88.4 kg milled rice per person per year Production constraints Yield has remained more or less unchanged during the last five years and is still low regardless of the large percentage of irrigated areas. There are several constraints to sustainable rice production in Malaysia: • Periodic drought even under irrigation because of erratic rainfall • Intrusion of seawater in low-lying rice fields • Weeds: red rice because of the adoption of direct seeding; insects: brown planthopper, stem borer, and green leafhopper; and diseases: blast and rice tungro virus • Labor shortage because of high labor wages in rural areas • Unfavorable prices of rice compared with those of other food products Production season Planting Harvesting Main season, Peninsular Sep-Oct Nov-Mar Main season, Sabah Jun-Aug Jan-Mar Main season, Sarawak Oct-Nov Mar-Apr 188 Rice almanac
