8th Malaysian International Halal 

Showcase (MIHAS) 2011 

Malaysian Pepper Board participated in the 8th Malaysian International Halal Showcase (MIHAS) at the 

Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC), Kuala Lumpur from 6 - 9 April 2011. This annual event was launched 

by Honourable Minister of Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism, Dato’ Sri Ismail Sabri bin Yaakob. 

About 385 exhibitors from 28 countries around the world such as China, Iran, Indonesia, Belgium, France, 

Turkey, Singapore, India and Japan took part in this exhibition. 

The objectives of MPB’s participation are to increase pepper consumption through promoting Malaysian 

pepper which is a Halal certified product locally and internationally, and at the same time to capture international 

market trade. During the exhibition, some of the products showcased were halal consumables such as frozen 

food, confectioneries, herbal products, poultry & dairy products, ready to eat meal and pharmaceutical products. 

Besides that, there were also non-food products such as toiletries, perfumeries and cosmetics. Land services was 

also promoted by financial institutions involved in Islamic Banking. 

MPB had actively participated in MIHAS event for the past few years and is no stranger among the exhibitors. 

Visitors turned up at MPB’s booth to enquire about pepper processing and also to buy pepper products. The 

participation of MPB in MIHAS 2011 is indeed a useful venture in which MPB kept itself abreast with the latest 

development in consumer preferences and new technologies available.

TRANSFER OF 

TECHNOLOGY SESSION 

- Pepper Flavoured Layer Cake - 

Layer cake or Kek Lapis, which is a famously known local food product from Sarawak, comes in various forms, 

designs and even flavours. It can easily be purchased from local cake houses not just in Sarawak but also in West Malaysia. 

The layer cake industry especially in Sarawak is quite saturated as the product is sold abundantly at tourist spots at 

attractive prices. Nevertheless, in order to survive the stiff competition in the local layer cake market, manufacturers 

themselves must be bold and creative in diversifying their product range as to provide more options to the ever-changing 

customers. 

MPB’s Product Development Unit held a Transfer of Technology (TOT) session on 24 May 2011 as requested by 

Diwannie Cake House on the making of “Pepper Flavoured Layer Cake”. The product itself was suggested by Diwannie 

Cake House Sales Manager, Muhamad Halil bin Abdul Manaf to Malaysian Pepper Board during MICCOS 2009 whereby 

MPB Product Development Unit was given the task to jump-start the development of the mentioned product. The main 

objectives of the session are to transfer the product know-how to Diwannie Cake House and to promote the usage of 

pepper in food products apart from its seasoning application. 

Diwannie Cake House represented by Mr. Muhamad Halil bin Abd. Manaf and Mdm. Zoraidah bt. Haji Leen were 

briefed on the main ingredients of the Pepper Flavoured Layer Cake. Thereafter, Mdm. Jacqueline Wenceslaus of MPB 

demonstrated the making of the product starting from mixing and layering of the cake before steaming or baking. Steaming 

or baking of the pepper flavoured layer cake is to provide an option to Diwannie Cake House on the varieties of process 

that suits their customers’ taste. Diwannie Cake House admitted that even though they were more familiar with the taste 

of layer cakes produced by steaming process, they agreed with MPB’s Product Development Unit that the baked pepper 

flavoured layer cake produces better taste and aroma. Nevertheless, both sides further commented that both types of cake 

(steaming and baking process) can still be further improved by adding other cooling flavours such as mint, etc. 

Discussion on the product was also focused on the product costing and raw material availability such as the dehydrated 

green pepper which is the main flavour of the cake. Diwannie Cake House was informed that the dehydrated green pepper 

powder can be produced by dehydrating green pepper in brine which can be purchased from the main supplier based at 

Demak Laut, Sarawak. 

As a conclusion, the session was able to transfer the making of the “Pepper Flavoured Layer Cake” to Diwannie Cake 

House whereby the product can also be added to their existing list of layer cakes products. Through proper promotional 

activities and aggressive marketing by Diwannie Cake House, the “Pepper Flavoured Layer Cake” is expected to be a 

major hit among tourists or even locals especially amongst those who prefer savoury cakes.

P E P P E R M A R K E T 

FROM JANuARY TO JuNE 2011 

LOCAL MARKET 

The first half of 2011 witnessed a bullish pepper market as supplies were again 

difficult to obtain. The black pepper, opening at RM12,150/tonne in early January 

soared higher to close at RM13,580/tonne in late June. There was a slight decline 

in black pepper prices in the middle of February due to lack of interest from overseas 

buyers compounded with the Lunar New Year celebration. However, in March, pepper 

prices started to increase in tandem with the global market sentiment. This was also 

influenced by a good domestic buying support and an increasing demand particularly from 

the food processing industries. 

For white pepper, the price was registered at RM19,500/tonne in early January. Low 

availability of white pepper in the market had pushed the prices up as traders refused to 

commit to any contracts at the moment and only released a small quantity to traditional 

buyers. The price for white pepper quoted higher at RM22,250/tonne in late June. In the first 

half of 2011, Malaysia exported a total of 6,193 tonnes of pepper. 

OVERSEAS MARKET 

The overseas black pepper market was quiet at the commencement of 2011 coupled with 

the Lunar New Year celebration in the main producing countries. India was in the midst of 

harvesting and most of its harvest were absorbed for internal consumptions. In March, all 

eyes were on the arrival of the Vietnamese new crops. Demand for Vietnam pepper were 

seen coming from these main importing countries such as China, Middle East, Far East and 

Europe but farmers there were said to be financially strong and were not influenced by the 

current situation, thus forced local traders to mark up prices to accumulate stocks. Report 

on low stocks in the market due to restricted supply had boosted the prices up in most 

origins. In Indonesia, business transacted was relatively limited as market remained inactive 

until the new crop arrivals somewhere in July/August. Black pepper market eased in the 

middle of May on light trading as most buyers were well covered for their immediate needs. 

Others were switching to ‘wait and see’ mode in expectation of further decline in prices. 

India, Lampung and Vietnam started to lower down their prices following a lack of demand 

from overseas buyers. However, this eased market was only a temporary phenomenon as 

speculation on the shortfall in the availability of Indonesia and Sri Lanka’s new crops had 

strengthened the pepper market in June. Black pepper price opened at US$5,400/tonne 

C&F New York in early January and moved steadily upwards to close relatively higher at 

US$6,725/tonne C&F New York by the end of June. 

For white pepper, the opening price was quoted at US$3,650/tonne C&F Rotterdam in early 

January and strengthened further to close the first half relatively higher at US$3,900/tonne 

C&F Rotterdam. The bullish market was mainly driven by the tight supply position in most 

origins and the consistent demand from end users. 

MARKET OuTLOOK 

With the arrivals of Indonesia new crop in July/August and the onset of Brazil’s new crop in 

September/October, pepper market is likely to weaken in the next coming months. Buyers 

are again expected to remain on the sidelines and speculating to press the origins for further 

decline in prices.

BERSAMA AHLI-AHLI LEMBAGA 

PENGARAH KE KEBuN LADA DI JOHOR 

Bersempena dengan Mesyuarat Lembaga MPB Bil. 1 Tahun 2011 

yang telah diadakan di Johor Bahru pada 9 - 10 Mac 2011, satu 

lawatan telah dibuat ke kebun lada milik En. Seow Chee Lian di 

Bukit Saga, Sg. Rengit, Johor. Lawatan ini telah disertai oleh 

pengerusi Lembaga Lada Malaysia (MPB), YB Datuk Alexander 

Nanta Linggi, ahli-ahli lembaga pengarah, pengarah-pengarah, 

penolong pengarah dan pegawai-pegawai MPB. 

Menurut En. Seow Chee Lian, kebun seluas 40 ekar yang diusahakan 

oleh beliau telah ditanam dengan 10,000 pokok lada yang terdiri 

daripada pelbagai varieti seperti Kuching, Semonggok Perak dan 

Semonggok Aman. Beliau mempraktikkan penyelenggaraan tanaman 

lada secara organik dan menggunakan pokok hidup seperti pokok 

dedap dan Gliricidia sebagai tiang sokongan. 

Menurutnya lagi, racun kimia tidak digunakan untuk aktiviti kawalan rumpai, serangga dan penyakit. Beliau 

hanya menggunakan produk dan baja organik dalam aktiviti penyelanggaraan kebun. Baja kimia hanya digunakan 

sebagai tambahan kepada unsur-unsur Nitrogen (N) dan Potassium (K). Lapan puluh peratus (80%) daripada baja 

yang digunakan adalah baja organik. Pengetahuan beliau berkaitan teknik dan kaedah penggunaan baja organik 

telah banyak membantu beliau dalam meningkatkan kuantiti dan kualiti hasil tuaian. 


Pokok dedap digunakan 

sebagai tiang sokongan.

Sesi bergambar rombongan lawatan bersama dengan En. Seow. 

Bagi melaksanakan kerja-kerja penyelengga-raan kebun, beliau mengupah lima orang pekerja asing dengan 

bayaran upah sebanyak RM30.00 sehari. Semasa musim menuai pula, beliau terpaksa mencari pekerja tambahan 

seramai sepuluh orang dengan bayaran upah RM1.00/kilogram. Kebanyakan hasil pengeluaran dijual sebagai 

lada hijau dengan purata harga RM3.60/kilogram. Lada putih dan lada hitam pula dijual dengan purata harga 

RM25.00/kilorgram dan RM 15.00/kilogram masing-masing. Pada tahun 2010, beliau telah berjaya menghasilkan 

25 tan lada hijau, 5 tan lada putih dan 4 tan lada hitam. 

Hasil pengeluaran lada hijau dijual terus kepada pengeksport di Johor bagi memenuhi permintaan dari negara 

India dan Perancis, manakala, lada putih dan lada hitam dijual terus kepada pengiat industri makanan di 

Johor. MPB telah menyumbangkan bantuan seperti tangki rendaman, alat-alat pemprosesan lada dan bekalan 

infrustruktur ladang seperti pelantar jemuran kepada En.Seow. Bantuan yang disalurkan ini telah membantu dalam 

meningkatkan kualiti keluaran lada beliau. 

Memandangkan Sarawak merupakan negeri pengeluar terbesar lada, pengerusi MPB berharap agar kaedah dan cara 

penanaman lada yang dipraktikkan oleh En.Seow dapat dijadikan panduan kepada pekebun lada di Sarawak agar 

pengeluaran lada negara 

dapat dipertingkatkan lagi 

dan sekaligus memajukan 

industri lada negara.

Dalam usaha menggalakkan penanaman lada khususnya di kawasan baru 

yang berpotensi untuk pengeluaran lada, Lembaga Lada Malaysia (MPB) 

telah menganjurkan Kursus Pengeluaran Bahan Tanaman (KPBT) kepada 

golongan yang berminat untuk menanam tanaman lada. Skop kursus 

merangkumi aspek penanaman lada, tapak semaian, tiang sokongan serta 

kos dan pulangan. 

Siri pertama kursus tahun 2011 ini telah diadakan di Hotel Meligai Kapit 

pada 16 - 18 Mac 2011 dan telah dihadiri oleh 29 orang peserta. Kapit dipilih 

sebagai lokasi penganjur kerana kawasan tersebut amat berpontensi untuk 

perluasan tanaman lada. Majlis penutupan kursus ini telah disempurnakan 

oleh Ketua Pengarah, Encik Grunsin Ayom. Beliau menyeru para peserta 

untuk terus menanam dan mengeluarkan lada memandangkan lada 

adalah salah satu tanaman yang sesuai untuk membantu meningkatkan 

sosioekonomi penduduk di luar bandar. 

Susulan permintaan masyarakat setempat destinasi kursus seterusnya adalah 

negeri Sabah. Siri kedua kursus ini diadakan di kawasan Matunggong, 

Kudat pada 15 - 16 Mei 2011. Seramai 32 orang peserta yang terdiri 

daripada pekebun dan juga pegawai pertanian telah menghadiri kursus ini. 

Majlis penutupan dan penyampaian sijil telah disempurnakan oleh Y.B. 

Tuan Sarapin Magana, Setiausaha Politik kepada Ketua Menteri merangkap 

ADUN N.4 Matunggong. Beliau mengucapkan terima kasih kepada pihak 

Kerajaan kerana telah berusaha memperkenalkan tanaman lada, amnya 

ke negeri Sabah dan khasnya ke kawasan Matunggong melalui agensi 

pelaksananya iaitu Lembaga Lada Malaysia. 

Destinasi kedua KPBT di negeri Sabah bagi tahun 2011 diadakan di 

Kampung Muhibah Ranau pada 18 - 19 Mei 2011. KPBT di Ranau mendapat 

sambutan yang amat menggalakkan di mana seramai 52 orang peserta telah 

menghadiri kursus ini untuk mengetahui potensi dan peluang tanaman 

lada. Ranau dipilih sebagai destinasi KPBT kerana bentuk mukabumi dan 

keadaan tanahnya yang sesuai untuk menanam lada. 

Majlis penutupan dan penyampaian sijil telah disempurnakan oleh Encik 

Philip Gaweng, Pengarah Kanan Bahagian Khidmat Pengurusan MPB. 

Beliau berkongsi pencapaian masyarakat negeri Sarawak yang telah berjaya 

mengusahakan tanaman lada sebagai salah satu sumber ekonomi sejak 

sekian lama. Menurut beliau, adalah menjadi tanggungjawab MPB untuk 

meluaskan tanaman lada ke negeri Sabah berdasarkan mandat yang telah 

diberikan oleh Kerajaan. Encik Andrew Ladat selaku Pegawai Kemajuan 

Masyarakat di kawasan Ranau juga mengharapkan kursus seumpama 

ini dapat dilaksanakan ke peringkat kampung. Walaupun tanaman lada 


merupakan tanaman baru bagi masyarakat negeri Sabah, namun kesungguhan dan keinginan mereka untuk menanam 

tanaman ini terpancar daripada kerjasama dan penglibatan mereka semasa sesi latihan amali di tapak kebun dan juga 

sesi pertanyaan semasa ceramah. Sebagai perintis dan kesungguhan usaha Kerajaan melalui agensinya Lembaga 

Lada Malaysia untuk memperluaskan tanaman lada ke negeri Sabah, setiap peserta telah dibekalkan dengan 50 

keratan lada melalui inisiatif pejabat Cawangan Pembangunan Pengeluaran.
