The period after Independence until 1970 saw increased government intervention which to improve productivity and income in the subsistence sector and reduce high dependence on rubber for export earnings. Malaysia inherited an economy largely based on the export of tin and rubber. Continued with large scale planting (with some diversification) of export commodity cash drops such as oil palm.Started cultivating oil palm because the major foreign plantations seized upon the opportunity of strong export demand for vegetables oils and shorter immaturity period of oil palm compared to rubber tree. Agriculture led by rubber and palm oil continued to be the dominant contributorAccording to the statistics department, the contribution of agriculture to the gross domestic product (GDP or the total of products and enterprises created) declined from 28.8% out of 1970 to 7.3% of every 2010. Be that as it may, in poorer states such as Perlis and Sabah, agriculture’s offer of GDP can be as high as 25%-30%. That decay is a typical wonders in the cycle of improvement. For example, the commitment of agriculture to the GDP of created nations, for example, United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan is just in the vicinity of 1% and 3%. However, as far as business, significantly more individuals are associated with farming. In 2010, farming, ranger service and fishing represented 13.3% of total employment of 11.1 million. Interestingly, the much-touted producing represented 16.9%, not substantially more. While the significance of farming is declining, it is as yet critical to the economy and merits consideration as a result of the extensive number of individuals subject to it. We require agriculture for sustenance security and simple supply of basic nourishment, particularly rice, in which we are as yet not independent. The sector contributed not only as a supplier of raw material to the resource based industries, but also in term of food production and Malaysia aim to be centre or hub for “halal” food production.Be that as it may, the test is that we don’t have a specific upper hand. Over and past what we requirement for sustenance security we have to concentrate on the territories where we have upper hand regarding the agriculture create. We are doing itemized examines on this. One noteworthy finding in agriculture is that more than 66% of individuals in agriculture are more than 50 – the youthful just would prefer not to be included. Our extraordinary test is to perceive how to get the youthful into agriculture.
