Malaysia's 13MP food security strategies for sustainable agrofood growth

KUALA LUMPUR: The government is prioritising national food security in the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) through sustainable agrofood production, supply chain resilience, and innovative farming strategies. The Economic Affairs Ministry's document highlights large-scale agriculture expansion in East Coast states, Sabah, and Sarawak to meet domestic demand and explore international markets. Padi production will be intensified via private sector partnerships in Kedah and Perlis, focusing on infrastructure upgrades, irrigation improvements, and smart farming. The People's Income Initiative will see enhanced implementation, diversified farming activities, and R&D to promote high-protein crops as alternative food sources. Programmes like National Agrofood Empowerment, Nextgen Agropreneur, and Pengganda30 will engage young entrepreneurs with industry support, aiming to reduce food waste and adopt zero-waste practices. Import policies will be refined to strengthen supply chain security, including stricter permit controls and reduced reliance on key exporters. Post-harvest loss reduction, stronger enforcement, and agricultural disaster protection schemes will be introduced. Marketing infrastructure will be upgraded, with SMEs integrated into agrofood hubs, and a real-time price monitoring system will ensure market transparency. Self-sufficiency targets for 2030 include rice (80%), vegetables (79%), and poultry (140%). The agrofood sector contributed 53.3% to agriculture value in 2024, with milestones like the National Food Security Blueprint and increased rice production to 5.0 metric tonnes per hectare. - Bernama

Jetro Supports Halal Market Expansion

BUSINESS KUALA LUMPUR, July 31 (Bernama) -- The Kuala Lumpur office of the Japan External Trade Organisation (Jetro) is actively supporting Japanese companies in entering the growing halal market —Southeast Asia's largest religious demographic and a rapidly expanding consumer segment. Jetro said in a statement that the initiatives include launching a dedicated catalogue for Malaysian halal buyers via the Japan Street platform, an online platform for invited overseas buyers. As of July 2025, the platform hosts approximately 10,000 Japanese companies and over 5,900 international buyers. As part of its initiative to expand Japan's presence in the global halal market, Jetro has decided to launch the Japan Halal Export Pavilion on — the world's largest B2B (business-to-business) halal e-marketplace with verified buyer access across more than 90 countries. Jetro will set up a Japan Booth at Food & Hospitality Malaysia (FHM) 2025, the country's largest food-related trade exhibition, scheduled for Sept 23-26, 2025. Through these efforts, Jetro aims to facilitate business matching between Japanese companies and halal-focused buyers in Southeast Asia, particularly Malaysia. According to Jetro's research, the Muslim population in Southeast Asia stands at approximately 280 million and is projected to reach 310 million by 2050. Malaysia alone is home to around 21.6 million Muslims, making it the second-largest Muslim population in the region after Indonesia (240 million). With rising population and income levels, the halal market is increasingly attracting attention from Japanese businesses.
