Big Plans To Modernise Rural Farming Up North
By Salbiah Said and Massita Ahmad
KUALA LUMPUR, July 21 (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's vision
for a holistic approach in the agriculture sector will become a reality once the initiatives
aimed at boosting the industry under a masterplan for the Northern Corridor (NC) swing
into action.
The Northern Corridor Economic Region (NCER) masterplan, to be unveiled by the
Prime Minister in Kedah on July 30, among others, outlined key strategies to spur growth
in the agriculture sector, which is commonly associated with the rural population and
traditional farmers.
Datuk Ahmad Zubir Murshid, group chief executive of Sime Darby Bhd, the architect of
the masterplan, said a major thrust will be to boost rural incomes of the farmers by
redesigning farming, distribution and marketing.
The masterplan is targeted to raise the average farmers' income to above RM1,500 per
month by 2012 from less than RM500 in 2005, in line with its objectives of poverty
eradication and economic growth, Ahmad Zubir said.
Under the plan, which covers Perlis, Kedah, Penang and northern Perak, the issue of
fragmented land ownership will be dealt with by creating cooperative-style outfits, he
said in an exclusive two-hour interview with Bernama recently.
LACK OF CONTIGUOUS AGRICULTURE LAND
Ahmad Zubir said much of the land in the NCER remains unused or underutilised, with
52 percent of it is now being gazetted as environmentally sensitive areas.
quot;If we look at it (NC), we lack large parcels of contiguous agriculture land. No big piece
of land. Only 48 percent is available land. About 40 percent of NCER land is for
agriculture and the balance (52 percent) is under forest reserve,quot; he said.
Of the 52 percent, five percent is for water bodies and four percent for built-up area for
other industries and housing.
One of the major challenges of the NCER plan is the issue of private landownership.

25. About 40 percent of NCER land is for agriculture but 83 percent or 800,000 hectares are
private smallholdings, Ahmad Zubir said.
quot;This is the problem. That is why it is not possible to have large scale farming, because
83 percent of that 40 percent is individually-owned.
quot;If you take paddy, the average farmer owns about one hectare... it's about 2.2 acres only.
It's not very big,quot; he said.
KEY THRUSTS OF NCER BLUEPRINT
quot;That's the biggest challenge in terms of doing scale farming. The land is too small to
introduce mechanisation. This is where in our NC, our major proposal is to introduce
mini-estate cooperative scale farming,quot; said Ahmad Zubir.
Under the plan, landowners will not be asked to sell their land but instead will be
encouraged to appoint a professional company to manage their land in return for a fixed
monthly salary and profit-sharing from the produce.
The plan, among others, proposes the introduction of modern agriculture methods,
expanding agro-based processing activities, introducing new crops and facilitating the use
of technology and best practices.
The NCER is one of the economic regions identified under the Ninth Malaysia Plan. To
be developed over 20 years, the plan is aimed at achieving a balanced and equitable
economic development in the four states, with three key economic thrusts -- agriculture,
manufacturing and services.
The main crops cultivated within the NCER are paddy, (28 percent), rubber (three
percent), oil palm (66 percent) and sugar cane (three percent).
INFRASTRUCTURE TO BE IMPROVED
Improving the infrastructure is another key thrust of the NCER blueprint.
Ahmad Zubir said there are 40,000 hectares of non-irrigated paddy land outside the Muda
Agricultural Development Authority (MADA) and the Integrated Agriculture
Development Project (IADP), where farmers own less than one hectare each and can
plant only one crop cycle a year, producing less than three tonnes per hectare.
quot;This 40,000-hectare land is the area that we really need to improve, such as the irrigation
water management aspect,quot; he said.
quot;Our system of irrigation is not fully integrated. When there is heavy rainfall, 70 to 80
percent of our water flows into the sea. When there is drought, the whole place, even the
canals, dries up.
quot;What we we would like to introduce is the closed-circuit system. There will be layers of

26. canal irrigation system where the water will be kept and some of the bigger canals can be
used for fish farming,quot; he said.
REVITALISING AGRICULTURE SECTOR
Ahmad Zubir, the masterplanner of the NCER plan, gave further insights of the
development plan. Following are excerpts of the interview:
Q: What are the areas that you are looking at in terms of revitalising the agriculture
sector?
Ahmad Zubir: In agriculture sector, poverty is still an issue, national food security is also
an issue. Besides that, we must look at the downstream industry.
This is the agropark processing area. This is what PM always say... we must have an agro
processing park, that is, to produce this product. Paddy for instance... we just convert
paddy into rice, basically there is no by-product.
In Japan, they have paddy husks that can be converted into other by-products... paper
from paddy... again, this is the waste-to-wealth concept.
This again PM is encouraging us to look at the waste-to-wealth concept, that is by-
products of paddy for instance... if not, paddy farmers will become just paddy farmers.
We don't have the by-products or the downstream business.
PROMOTING DOWNSTREAM
Q: How do you plan to do this?
Ahmad Zubir: We put it in three phases. First, bringing the investors in, bringing people
to look at commercial crops, improving the set-up of downstream and also having brand
creation here.
Then we want to get local participation and we want to expand the downstream and
making more people involved in R&D (research and development) and branding, and
finally we want to go for global. One day, we can have our own Malaysian brand.
These are some of the programmes. Programme I, promoting commercial farming in
partnership with the local community, that is, through the cooperative, land owners
together with us and have contract farming, and linking back to the major hypermarket.
And also having the products processed.
Programme II is looking at new crops... these are some of the activities that we are
looking at. It is all not quot;casting stonequot; some of the fruits like mangoes, durians, dragon
fruits, even grapes... PM mentioned grapes in Perlis. There are grapes in Perlis. And then
corn, potatoes and so on so forth.
These are the potential areas... these we have visited and some of the areas are suitable

27. for cultivation of these crops. From here, we are not just producing. We must go into the
agro-industrial downstream, that is, once you start to produce, it can become food or non-
food.
MARKETING, DISTRIBUTION AND BRANDING
So we must not look at just food but also develop the non-food aspect of it. This is the
downstream activity that we are saying... like potatoes. People talk about chips and fries,
but we can also go into bio-plastic and bio-degradable packaging now. This is the hi-tech
(aspect) that we are looking at... the value added... not just the food but the non-food as a
potential... corn for instance... the bio-fuel bio-plastic is also a potential here. For these,
we must have branding (Programme III).
In order for us to have value added, we must look at branding... here we are working with
the various agencies and also coordinating with MAFC (Malaysian Agricultural Food
Corporation), Khazanah (Nasional Bhd)'s marketing channel. So we are complementing
each other.
We need to improve the marketing and distributing channel so we start from backward
onwards... we make sure we have got this in place before we go to this... we will make
sure we have the right distribution channel and we also need to do branding.
Look at the famous California grapes, New Zealand beef... we must have branding in
order to value add our products, otherwise, our products will always be compared to other
cheap ones such as beef from India which is very cheap and we'll never be able to market
our products at higher prices.
These are areas that we are looking at. We must rely on the hypermarket to make sure our
agriculture products are marketable... that is the kebun (farm) to kilang (factory) concept.
Kilang means processing as well as the hypermarket.
SEED TECHNOLOGY
When we talk about agriculture, you have to have the full value chain. First, you have to
have the seed in control. Two, you must have the processing, the value added. Three, you
must have the distribution and marketing and four, you must have branding.
If you don't have your brand, you will be at the mercy of people like Wal-Mart, Tesco,
Giant and so on. They will buy your material as cheaply as possible and brand it as theirs.
For example, Malaysian rambutans have been packaged as Singapore lychees.
Q: Besides preparing the blueprint, what's Sime Darby's role in the NCER?
Ahmad Zubir: We are looking at seed technology. We are looking at investing in seed
technology with a foreign partner. We are developing a seed R&D centre in Perlis to
provide the good quality seed and also to develop seeds for the region.
At the same time, we must strengthen the incentives to encourage agriculture downstream

28. activities. We are looking at introducing more agropreneurs to get people involved to
participate in this. We are looking at the commercial agriculture, that is, getting big
companies involved in the downstream and also participating in the upstream, that is, in
large scale farming.
Q: How much are you investing?
Ahmad Zubir: We are investing about RM25 million for the seed project in Perlis. PM
will announce during the launch the partner that we are going to work with in Perlis.
Perlis has been identified for the seed culture industry, because of its climatic and soil
conditions. Globally, the seed industry is valued at some US$26 billion (about RM90
billion) and controlled by five players. We are not even there. Besides that, Perlis will
have a climatic fruits cluster for vines such as grapes.
We are also looking at setting up cattle rearing (feedlots and cattle integration) in Selama
in a joint venture with Permodalan Nasional Bhd, with investment of over RM20 million.
AGRICULTURE FACULTY
Q: How do you plan to utilise the unused land?
Ahmad Zubir: Currently we have identified more than 3,500 hectares of unused land
which can be converted back for agriculture use. Some of these are also industrial land
supposed to be allocated for industrial estate but hardly being utilised.
We are asking the states why not allow us to use this for agriculture use. And one area
being in the agriculture area... there is no faculty of agriculture in the north... You have
Universiti Utara Malaysia, Universiti Malaysia, Universiti Teknologi Mara, Universiti
Sains Malaysia. But none specialises in agriculture.
So what we are recommending perhaps Universiti Putra in Serdang can have a faculty
there. We are also encouraging scholarships so that more people take up agriculture and
agrifood business.
Other areas that we are looking at include provision of shared infrastructure, like working
with government agencies for agriculture, fishing, aquacentre, rubber processing cluster
and animal husbandry production centre. These we want to encourage.

Nestle, Tesco deal directly with farmers to bring down prices
FOOD giant Nestle has plans on what it wants to implement under the Northern Corridor Economic Region (NCER) project.
Its manager for agricultural services, Yong Lee Keng, said Nestle is conducting research and development (R&D) with the Malaysian Agricultural
Research and Development Institute (Mardi) on red rice.
quot;Once the seeds are released, we will work with Sime Darby Bhd and implement the project in Kedah. We expect it to begin in mid-2008,quot; he said
in Petaling Jaya.
Nestle, he said, was also looking into semi-aerobic farming with Mardi under the NCER. This is the recommended worldwide padi-planting practice
to reduce greenhouse emissions and conserve water at the same time.
quot;When submerged in water, padi produces greenhouse gases. With semi-aerobic farming, you use a damp surface instead.
quot;If we use full-aerobic farming, the yield would be very low. This way, we don’t significantly lower the yield. Sometimes, the yield is higher.quot;
Yong said Nestle was already practising semi-aerobic farming at its R&D farm in Sik, Kedah, which produces rice for their infant cereal products.
Nestle is also sharing its experience with Sime Darby on this.
Yong added that contract farming was another viable option for NCER as it provided farmers with a steady income while allowing companies like
Nestle to control practices right from the farm level.
quot;This allows us to look at food safety and monitor the food ‘from the farm to the fork’. We can control the amount of pesticides used and how it’s
sprayed and so on.
quot;We can also make sure the environment is not harmed by taking care of the waterways and ensuring the proper disposal of pesticide canisters,quot;
he said.
Yong said Nestle was the first to start contract farming in 1985 when they decided to stop buying chillies for their famous Maggi Chilli Sauce from
wholesalers.
quot;When the price was high, the wholesalers would not deliver to us and when the price was very low, they would dump the chillies on us.
quot;It was then that we decided to implement the first ever contract farming,quot; he said.
Before starting the project, Nestle, together with the Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) and Mardi, evaluated chillies from all over the
world
quot;In 1985, we had 10 people from all over the country growing chillies for us. When the problem with the wholesalers occurred, we chose two
suppliers.
quot;There’s one in Kelantan, which is under the Bukit Awang Farmers Association and another in Perak, an individual entrepreneur,quot; he said.
Nestle chose these areas because it wanted to go into the lesser-developed places and provide opportunities to farmers there.
Yong said fertigation (application of nutrients through the irrigation system) was also introduced during the flood seasons in Kelantan.
He said Nestle provided the market for the goods as well as the technical support while the government is providing the infrastructure for
fertigation.
quot;By providing the infrastructure for fertigation, the government is allowing private companies like us to venture into contract farming.quot;
Another company that supports contract farming is Tesco.
A price drop is so unheard of these days that when it happened, there was more disbelief than relief.
This was what happened in March last year when Tesco stores in Malaysia brought down the price of prawns from RM15.99 per kg to RM9.99 per
kg. Naturally, Tesco had repeat customers and the average prawn price dropped further.
Consumers had contract farming to thank for this because when Tesco contract-farmed its prawns, it cut off the middleman — hence the lower
price.
But price isn’t the sole benefit of contract farming, practised worldwide by Tesco. By determining the standard of fruits, vegetables and meat, it
controls quality and food safety — something consumers will appreciate. It even rents baskets and trays for collection to the farmers so that the
produce are only handled minimally.
Tesco used to source their fresh produce from wholesalers, but when it realised product quality could not be controlled, it got farmers to plant
according to its specifications.
Now, 20 to 25 per cent of fresh produce including poultry, fruits, vegetables and meat, are contract farmed.
Tesco’s corporate and legal affairs director Azlam Shah Alias (picture) says the farms are all over the peninsula, from Johor to Kedah to
Terengganu and the company aims to increase the number by 30 per cent.
quot;We are negotiating with farmers in Perak to plant lowland vegetables like spinach and sawi,quot; said Azlam.

Sime Darby Sees NCER From Foreign Investor Perspective
By Salbiah Said and Massita Ahmad
KUALA LUMPUR, July 21 (Bernama) -- Sime Darby Bhd, the masterplanner for the
Northern Corridor Economic Region (NCER), sees development in the region from the
foreign investor perspective.
quot;We are a regional player that have successfully invested overseas. You are looking at a
local `foreigner' coming back to invest in Malaysia,quot; its group chief executive Datuk Seri
Ahmad Zubir Murshid told Bernama in an interview recently.
quot;We believe that the government has given us the confidence. It is also in the sense that
Sime Darby is a conglomerate and we have vast experience in agriculture,quot; he said.
The NCER, which Sime Darby is tasked with drawing up the blueprint, will be covering
four states to be combined as one region in the north, namely Perlis, Kedah, Penang and
the northern part of Perak.
Sime Darby, with plantation, automotive and property as its core businesses, has a good
track record around the world, including in Singapore, Hong Kong, China, and Australia.
Asked how confident Sime Darby was with the NCER, Ahmad Zubir said that both the
blueprint and implementation quot;are doablequot;.
quot;It is a viable project. We have gone through every potential areas thoroughly. The key
success factors would be the implementation, support and buy-in of the public, private
sector as well as government agencies,quot; he said.
quot;Unlike Petronas and Khazanah which are not public-listed companies, we at Sime Darby
have minority shareholders whom we must be responsible for. We have to be totally
different,quot; he added.
Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas), the national oil corporation, has been tasked with
developing the Eastern Corridor while Khazanah Nasional Bhd looks after the Southern
Johor Economic Region, better known as the Iskandar Development Region (IDR).

35. Ahmad Zubir said the NCER was expected to create half a million employment
opportunities by 2012 and a million job opportunities by 2020.
The economic region, with the four main economic thrusts of agriculture, manufacturing,
tourism and human capital, is going to be developed over a period of more than 20 years.
Besides being the masterplanner, Sime Darby will also participate in the NCER as an
investor after handing over the blueprint to the implementation body, Northern Corridor
Implementation Agency (NCIA).
As part of the NCER development, the group planned an initial investment of about
RM25 million to set up a research centre to develop seed cultivation and production in
Perlis, Ahmad Zubir said.
quot;We are also looking at setting up cattle rearing (feedlots and cattle integration) in
Selama in a joint venture with Permodalan Nasional Bhd with an investment of RM20
over million,quot; he said.
Sime Darby is also looking at oil and gas business, which is believed to be related to the
US$7 billion Trans-Peninsular Pipeline Project that will link Kedah to Kelantan.
quot;We are looking to have a yard in the north. That has not been finalised yet. We are
looking at the Yan area (in Kedah),quot; Ahmad Zubir said but declined to provide further
details.
He also said that Sime Darby took 12 months to complete the blueprint by hiring
consultants for each of the potential sectors covering agriculture, manufacturing and
services to be developed in the region.
Sime Darby is on track to be merged as one entity under Synergy Drive Sdn Bhd,
together with Golden Hope Plantations Bhd and Kumpulan Guthrie Bhd.
Synergy Drive, which will be one of the world's largest plantation groups, is set to be
listed on Bursa Malaysia in November this year.

NCER To Push Up Kedah's Agriculture, Industrial,
Tourism Sectors
ALOR STAR, July 16 (Bernama) ­­ The Kedah state government is confident that
the well planned North Corridor Economic Region (NCER) programme, due for
launch end of this month, will bring significant transformation to the state's
agricultural, industrial and tourism sectors.
Menteri Besar Kedah Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid said that under the NCER, the
three sectors have been identified for development in the state.
quot;Kedah is already developing the three sectors at the moment but with the NCER,
a greater push will be given to the sectors which will benefit the people and the
state,quot; he told a press conference here Monday to announce the upcoming NCER
programme.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi is due to launch the NCER plan
during his visit to Kedah this July 30.
Sime Darby Bhd will be the lead agency for the implementation of the NCER which
will cover the planned development of the four northern states of Perak, Penang,
Kedah and Perlis.
The NCER was marked in the Ninth Malaysia Plan (2006­2010) to promote a fair
and balanced economic development for the nation.
Mahdzir said the agriculture sector's development will focus on padi cultivation,
livestock and acquaculture.
For the padi sector, the entire areas under the Muda Agricultural Development
Authority will be given a boost in terms of infrastructure starting from water
reservoirs to the irrigation systems.
Apart from that, small time individual padi harvesting would be transformed to
more commercial methods with the concept of padi estates.
In the industrial sector, three existing industrial areas namely Gurun, Sungai
Petani and Kulim will continue to be strengthened while downstream industries will
be created to further boost the sector's development.
The Menteri Besar said a new industrial park will be also created at the Kulim High
Technology Park (KHTP) which currently hosts hundreds of well known companies
from all over the world.

39. He said the new park will provide support to the KHTP.
quot;In the tourism sector, Langkawi will continue as a main tourism destination and
at the same time efforts will be taken to attract tourists to the mainland of Kedah.
Lembah Bujang, Ulu Muda and Sedim,quot; he added.
