EPP EPP44
This EPP aims to increase production for high-value fish species
(sea bass, grouper, tilapia), to effectively account for an additional
28 per cent growth of total aquaculture production in 2020. This
will be implemented through an anchor company, which will
be tasked to manage the operations of its own farm as well as
providing extension services such as providing training, setting
standard operating procedures and guidelines to its contract
farmers. The contract farmers in turn will gain from a guaranteed
buy-back agreement with the appointed anchor companies.
Achievements
Four anchor companies have been appointed to manage the farm
operations in Tasik Temenggor, Tawau and Kota Belud respectively.
The status of the projects is as follows:

The Department of Fisheries will monitor the progress of the four companies to ensure
the construction of the cages and other infrastructures are completed as planned in 2012.
Simultaneously, more companies will be approached to participate in the project to achieve
the 2012 high-value fish production target of 30,258 metric tonnes (MT).
EPP 5
The target for this project was to integrate rearing of 300,000
heads of cattle in large oil palm plantations, generating RM150
million in GNI, securing RM343 million in investments and creating
3,600 jobs in 2020.
Achievements
Cattle Integration in Oil Palm Estates
Despite the implementation challenges due to low take-up by
large oil palm players, the Department of Veterinary Services
secured 25 medium-sized plantations in the cattle integration
business to participate in this project. This collectively amounted
to 543,625 hectares of land available for integration.
To support this EPP, the Government is providing incentives of
additional cattle to the plantations as well breeding and feed
programmes to support the livestock industry.
Moving Forward
NKEA: Agriculture EPP 2 – EPP 5
In addition to the low take-up rate from the private sector, it was
found upon re-evaluation that the GNI impact of this project does
not justify the amount invested in the long run. As such, no further
development will be done on this project from 2012 onwards.
However, the Department of Veterinary Services will continue to
monitor the 25 plantations.
