Description
Summary:The Malaysian agricultural sector has been given a weighty emphasis mainly due to its prominent role in maintaining the local food supplies, subsequently guaranteeing the nation's sovereignty. Furthermore, food crops such as rice, vegetables, and fruits are fundamental necessities in daily life, along with fishing and livestock sources as well as industrial crops for export. Samah and Othman (2015) highlighted that the local agricultural sector has undergone significant transformation in recent years. Notably, the sector has shifted from being dominated by smallscale farmers to being dominated by large-scale agribusinesses; a trend that is expected to continue in the future. This transformation is driven by various factors, including the expansion of the palm oil industry, the development of modern technology, and the implementation of government policies to further promote the sector.
