ETP ANNUAL REPORT 2011
This project aims to increase export quality shrimp production
through the establishment of Integrated Zone for Aquaculture
Models (IZAQs). The size of each IZAQ is expected to be a minimum
of 40 hectares and placed under the management of an anchor
company. RM1.6 billion in public funding has been allocated for
implementation of this project, with the expectation of another
RM1.6 billion from private investment.
Achievements
Through the new incentive procedure, six companies were
appointed in 2011 as anchors for the operation of six IZAQs. Of the
six, the construction of five IZAQs has commenced in 2011. The
status of the six IZAQs is shown in exhibit 11.7.
The incentives approach received favourable response
from the private sectors. Six private companies participated
and committed RM1.23 billion in investments up to 2020.
This resulted in a significant reduction in public funding
requirement. From the initial projection of RM640 million, public
funding contribution was reduced to RM100.1 million for five
IZAQs, representing an 85.8 per cent decrease in public funds
allocation.
Moving Forward
The Department of Fisheries will continuously monitor the
construction of each IZAQ and ensure that the companies will
meet their production target to achieve the GNI. The Department
of Fisheries will continue to pursue more project champions to
complete the 10,000 hectares target for the replication of IZAQs
by 2020.
This project is focussed on the production of six high-value, nonseasonal
tropical fruits (rock melon, starfruit, papaya, jackfruit,
banana and pineapple) to boost total production by 68 per cent by
2020. Production of three high-value highland vegetables (lettuce,
tomato and capsicum) will also be intensified using the anchor
company approach. This project will leverage on the existing
Permanent Food Production Zones (Taman Kekal Pengeluaran
Makanan – TKPM) and explore the intercropping approach used in
oil palm plantations with banana and pineapple.
Achievements
To date, 22 existing TKPMs are being upgraded to enhance
the production of identified fruits and vegetables. Of these, 16
Permanent Food Production Zones are already in production,
three have completed expansion works and an additional three
new ones are currently being developed. Four companies have
been selected to become the anchor companies for this project.
