4. Food Security ‐ One of the pressing challenges for Malaysia
Assessment through Affordability, Availability, and Quality & Safety
Malaysia food consumption makes up about 31%
share of household expenditures.
Agriculture and palm oil are two sectors to be
revitalized under the Economic Transformation
Program.
RM3.8 billion was allocated to boost agriculture
production to support the country’s National
Agrofood Agenda 2011‐2020.

5. The Economic Transformation Program and The National Agrofood
Agenda 2011‐2020
Excluding industrial crops such as palm oil and rubber,
agriculture contributed RM20.2 billion or about 4% of
Malaysia’s gross national income.
National Agrofoods Policy 2011‐2020 launched early 2012
include 4 new strategies; making sure national food
stocks are in good supply, and safe for consumption,
keeping the agrofoods industry competitive and
sustainable and boosting agricultural entrepreneurs'
income levels.
Under the 10th Malaysia Plan, the country has identified
16 entry point projects to revitalize this sector. Among
others:‐
Scaling up and strengthening productivity of
paddy farming in the Muda area.
Scaling up and strengthening productivity of
paddy farming in other irrigated areas.
Upgrading capabilities to produce fruit and
vegetable for premium markets. 5

11. Food Security Solutions
Food security solutions must be local ‐ due to variations in climate, soils, cultural
traditions, transportation/distribution infrastructure and economic viability
Solutions must be collaborative ‐ reached in concert with communities,
governments and NGOs who know the “facts on the ground,” and with business entities
who have the specialized expertise to help solve particular problems.
Science must become local wisdom ‐ know‐how must be brought to the people and
places that need it the most. This is accomplished by working side‐by‐side with all
involved to transfer knowledge to local communities.
Sustainability is key ‐ by focusing on specific local challenges, collaborating broadly
on solutions, and bringing the know‐how needed to bring those solutions to life.

Assessment through Affordability, Availability, and Quality & Safety
Philippines food consumption makes up more
than 43.3% share of household expenditures.
Agriculture sector is made up of 4 sub‐sectors:
farming, fisheries, livestock and forestry which
together employ 39.8% of the labor force and
contribute 20% to the GDP.
Over 11 million people employed in agriculture
sector.
Food nutrition & sufficiency are in needs for the
Philippines’ growing population.

24. The Philippine Food Staples Self‐sufficiency Roadmap (FSSR)
2011‐2016
Oil price, climate change, unsustainable production and
rice intensification are factors that can dampen PH's
agricultural production.
A principle constraint that many poor farmers face in
becoming more productive and profitable is the lack of
adequate infrastructure, particularly rural roads and
irrigation.
Philippines low levels of infrastructure expenditure, as
low as 2.8% of GDP in 2002. This limits the access of
people to basic agricultural inputs, transport and
storage facilities and results in difficulties to access
markets.
For 2013, an infrastructure budget of over 400 billion
pesos ($9.6 billion) set aside to pursue major upgrades
of ports, airports, road and bridge networks to speed
up growth.

25. Philippine Food Security
The Bureau of Food and Drugs or BFAD of the Department of
Health, has identified several food safety concerns ‐
microbiological contamination, presence of food contaminants,
use of non‐permissible food additives and use of food additives
beyond allowable limits.
DOH through the Bureau of Food and Drugs (BFAD) undertakes
measures to address concerns ‐ continuous assessment of Good
Manufacturing Practices and the Hazard Analysis Critical Control
Points or HACCP for compliance.
The BFAD is also engaged in the review and development of
food standards.

and resistance to pests and diseases
Corn for School Lunch Program
• Since 2002, we have been donating corn seeds and farming materials as well as giving
agronomy training to rural schools.
• Income from the harvested crop goes to the school lunch fund to help improve the
nutrition quality of the school lunches. needy students have sufficient and nutrition food
at their lunch.
• In a year, we conduct the program at approx 30-45 schools in 20 provinces in the north
and northeastern part of Thailand.
• At the end of 2011, a collective income of more than THB 11 million (or USD 392,220)
has benefitted rural schools in Thailand

67. Maximizing the yields of seeds through sustainable farming
practices
Rice-After-Shrimp Farming System
• In Vietnam, rice is grown in the rainy season and shrimp is farmed
in the dry season. Farming both of these on the same field
presents unique challenges.
• DuPont developed PHB71, a rice hybrid that can better withstand
salty soil
• Local rice farmers have experienced great success with the seeds.
