Abstract

The supply side of beef industry has not responded well to the rising demand for beef. This industry is still highly dependent on imported beef and feeder cattle for beef production to meet the local demand. The objective of this study is to analyse the impacts of different importation policy scenarios on beef industry in Peninsular Malaysia. A simulation model that based on estimated market model is used to analyse the policy. The findings imply that the number of import cattle for breeding (ICTB) should be maintained, while import of cattle for slaughter or feeder cattle should be increased by 20%. This will improve beef self-sufficiency level while stabilizing beef retail price.

Abstract

Penerapan teknologi informasi pada di Marineculture di Asia Tenggara, yang berfokus pada inovasi ekonomi dan ekologi lingkungan, sangat penting bagi pembangunan berkelanjutan. Rekomendasi yang diberikan adalah melalui pendekatan dan aplikasi : (1) Transformasi Digital. Hal ini mencakup peningkatan infrastruktur, promosi e-commerce, dan pengembangan kewirausahaan digital. (2) Pengembangan Sains, Teknologi & Inovasi: harus dipandang sebagai investasi untuk mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi dan kemajuan teknologi berbasis Ekonomi Digital. (3) Adopsi dilakukan dengan Transisi Ramah Lingkungan agar pengembangan teknologi berkontribusi terhadap ekologi lingkungan. (4) Dukungan penuh dari pemerintah melalui kebijakan pemberian kredit finansial dan penyuluhan tentang aplikasi teknologi berbasi IoT kepada pembudidaya ikan kecil. Oleh karena itu, negara-negara Asia Tenggara harus memanfaatkan teknologi untuk inovasi ekonomi sambil memastikan kelestarian lingkungan melalui penerapan praktik dan kebijakan ramah lingkungan.

Abstract

The widespread concern about the devastating impact of climate change, especially in the agricultural sector, has become severe. This paper aims to explore and predict the impact of climate change on oil palm production using future climate conditions projected by the National Water Research Institute of Malaysia (NAHRIM). An error correction model (ECM) and autoregressive distributed lags (ARDL) cointegration approach were applied to assess the short-run and long-run impact of climate change on oil palm production. The estimated short-run coefficients disclosed that the oil palm own price and fertilizer use positively affected oil palm production in the second lag period, and increased acreage benefited oil palm production in the long run. The rainfall variable negatively affected the second lag period but positively rose oil palm production in the long run. The results of forecasting analysis revealed that SN1 (minimum climate variability), SN2 (maximum climate variability), and SN3 (average climate variability) would increase oil palm production by 5%, 1%, and 2%, respectively. Meanwhile, the oil palm yield would rise from 16.73 t/ha in 2020 to 16.89 t/ha in 2030 under SN1. However, with maximum rainfall, the yield would drop to 16.41 t/ha in 2030. Overall, climate change would likely reduce oil palm yield. This research could serve as empirical guides for policymakers and oil palm stakeholders in terms of practical and policy implications to adapt to climate change-related risks and uncertainties. The practical cover investments in technologies, such as developing drought-tolerant and early-maturity crop varieties, boosting water saving, and reducing evapotranspiration.

Abstract

Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) has emerged in Malaysia in recent years, causing significant economic losses and raising industry concerns. With limited data on the local outbreak's impact, this qualitative study investigates the challenges faced by the Malaysian ruminant industry during the 2021–2022 outbreak. Using purposive focus group interviews, the study targeted key government officials to identify challenges and propose strategic interventions for disease management. The findings provide valuable insights for future improvements. A total of 20 responses were successfully analyzed using thematic analysis, yielding three main themes with eight subthemes related to LSD challenges, and four themes with nine subthemes representing multifactorial strategic intervention approaches. Thematic analysis revealed multifactorial challenges and control strategies for LSD: (i) knowledge gaps in disease emergence, (ii) systemic and socio-economic barriers to effective LSD control, and (iii) governance and policy limitations, including issues related to culling policies and inadequate border control. The multifaceted approaches to controlling LSD include improving decision-making and response times, establishing emergency preparedness guidelines such as training and simulation exercises, and enhancing surveillance and investigation strategies. The findings are based on expert opinions from government officials, which may limit the discussion to regulatory improvements. Future research at the farm level could provide more comprehensive insights for LSD management. Overall, the study’s findings can inform the development of standard operating procedures for LSD management, supporting better decision-making and budget allocation in the ruminant industry.
