Key Views * Rice Production growth to 2014/15: 27.3%. We are optimistic that Malaysia should be able to meet 85% rice self-sufficiency by 2020. * Poultry production and consumption to 2014/15: 25.2% and 17.7% respectively. This will be due to increased demand from those on higher incomes and consumer perceptions that poultry is healthier and safer than pork. * Cocoa production to 2014/15: 32.9% to 26,250 tonnes. This has come from increased government and private investment, as well as more export opportunities, especially to Asian consumers. * 2011 Real GDP Growth Forecast: 4.9% (predicted to average 5.4% from now until 2015). * Consumer Price Inflation: 2.4% y-o-y in January. Industry Developments The rice sector is being given special highlight through the Economic Transformation Program as the government has chosen the industry as a key sector to ensure food security. This will be done through the government-led MYR2.7bn (US$886mn) Entry Point Projects that will focus on increasing the scale of rice production, with special emphasis placed on the Muda region in Eastern Malaysia because it produces higher-yielding rice. According to official estimates, the Muda area contributes to 40% of total rice produced and has an average rice yield of 5.0 metric tonnes per hectare, which is 34% higher than the national average yield. The poultry sector is also another of Malaysia's key focus points given its professed aim to become a halal food hub. As a predominately Muslim country, the Malaysian government believes it is perfectly placed to become a key food supplier to other Muslim countries, who will be confident that Malaysia's food exports will be prepared to halal standards - the proposition of an integrated halal poultry production centre further boosts the country in reaching that goal. Another example of government support for the sector are plans to encourage free-range chicken rearing on palm oil plantation estates. This is to utilise the vast areas of palm plantations to grow what is regarded as more organic and healthy 'free-range' chicken. A total of MYR240mn is expected to be channelled into the enterprises and should generate 6,000 jobs. The targeted GNI contribution is MYR200mn. Malaysia was once a major player in global cocoa production, but output has fallen drastically in recent years. The government has initiated several projects to create high yielding, disease-resistant seeds, the most notable of which is with Swiss chocolate giant Barry Callebaut. Despite this, the sector remains a shadow of its former self and we expect production to grow only gradually from 2008/09 levels.
