chapter 6 - Malaysia Productivity Corporation ( MPC)

The MADA “estatisation” model will be replicated to
scale up paddy farming and improve productivity
in other granaries such KADA, Batang Lupar in
Sarawak and Kota Belud in Sabah, particularly
in the provision of incentives to encourage
outsourcing of land management and the setting
up of an integrated rice corporation. In granaries
managed by Integrated Agriculture Development
Authorities (IADA), the focus during the initial
stage will be on providing incentives to encourage
outsourcing of land management.
In Sekinchan however, farmers have been using
the mini-estate approach in managing their fields
where strict standard operating procedures are
observed. For example, all farming activities such
as planting, fertiliser and insecticide application,
harvesting, etc. are performed simultaneously.
