2 National Agricommodity Policy 2021-2030 (DAKN2030)

Foreword

The Agricommodity sector is a vital cog in the Malaysian economy,
contributing to sustained GDP growth, and a positive balance
of trade while lifting incomes of millions of Malaysians. As the
ministry responsible for setting the direction and stewarding
the Agricommodity sector, the Ministry of Plantation Industries
and Commodities (MPIC) has been given an important mandate
(amanat) towards the overall benefit of our fellow Malaysians.

The Dasar Agrikomoditi Negara 2021-2030 (DAKN2030) sets the policy direction for our work
and outcomes to be delivered as a ministry over the next 10 years, with an ambitious vision:
Advancing Agricommodity for Sustainability and Shared Prosperity. MPIC is entrusted to
ensure implementation of the five policy thrusts: Sustainability, Productivity, Value-creation, Market
Development and Inclusiveness.

Targeted programmes and projects will be implemented across all eight commodities and the four
cross-cutting priorities – Smallholder Well-being, Bumiputera Advancement, Entrepreneurship
& MSME Growth and Impactful Delivery. Measurable outcomes have been defined for each
programme in collaboration with the respective agencies who will lead implementation.

This Pelan Tindakan Phase 1 (2021-2025) is only the first step towards implementing DAKN2030.
We must all work together to mobilise our resources and technical capacity to ensure effective and
efficient implementation. I hope that all of us in MPIC will continue to work productively - within the
ministry, across all agencies, with other parts of government as well as with the private sector and all
related stakeholders.

Action Plan 3

We must all work together
to mobilise our resources
and technical capacity to
ensure effective and efficient

implementation.

Industries And Commodities

Introduction to
DAKN2030

THE DASAR AGRIKOMODITI NEGARA 2021-2030
(DAKN2030) SETS THE POLICY DIRECTION FOR
THE AGRICOMMODITY SECTOR

The Agricommodity1 sector is a vital cog in the Malaysian
economy. Selama beberapa dekad, sektor ini telah membantu
rakyat Malaysia keluar daripada kepompong kemiskinan,
menyumbang kepada pembangunan dan pertumbuhan sosio
ekonomi negara dan mewujudkan peluang pekerjaan. Pencapaian
dan perkembangan sektor ini adalah hasil daripada hala tuju
dasar yang jelas didorong oleh kerjasama erat antara sektor awam
dengan swasta, seperti mana digariskan dalam Dasar Komoditi
Negara 2011-2020 (DKN2020) sebelum ini.

A lot has changed in this past decade. The digital revolution has taken the world by storm, and
digital natives are now in the workforce, with different aspirations and expectations from previous
generations of workers. Countries around the world have developed rapidly, tilting the balance
of power towards fast-growing, developing economies with large populations. Most recently, the
COVID-19 pandemic has cast a shadow on the economy, business survival as well as personal health
and well-being.

The Agricommodity sector is responding to these changes and challenges. The Dasar
Agrikomoditi Negara 2021-2030 (DAKN2030) sets the policy direction for the coming 10 years,
developed through extensive engagement with key stakeholders across the public and private
sector. Eight commodities and related output are covered, i.e., palm oil, rubber, timber, cocoa,
pepper, plant-based fibres (kenaf), biomass and biofuels.

1 Agricommodity refers to refers to agricultural-based commodities under the purview of the Ministry of Plantation Industries and
Commodities (MPIC)

Action Plan 5

The Agricommodity
Sector Has Made Progress
Over The Last 10 Years

Agricommodity Gross Domestic Product (GDP) contribution grew from RM76.2 billion in 2010 to
RM85.1 billion in 20202, contributing 6.3% to Malaysia’s total GDP in 2020. Agricommodity exports
(excluding tobacco) reached RM150 billion in 2020, driven by palm oil, rubber and timber3. The sector
employs over 1.3 million people, including smallholders and plantation workers4. Almost 1 million are
Malaysians, making up 6% of the national workforce5.

Total planted area has increased by 1.1 million hectares (ha) to 7.1 million ha over 2010-2020, largely
driven by expansion of palm oil smallholdings and plantations. In parallel, sustainability practices
have improved through targeted policy action, increased certification, and better management
practices.

The Malaysian Agricommodity sector has also continued to strengthen its global standing in
a number of upstream and downstream products. Among others, Malaysian palm oil yield is the
highest among the global top five producers, Malaysia is the top global rubber glove producer and
exporter, and the sixth-largest cocoa grinder in the world.

Challenges Persist
Despite These Efforts

The yield of major commodities such as palm oil, rubber and cocoa is declining due to factors
such as poor soil health, pests and diseases, inconsistent application of good agricultural practices,
labour shortages and the uneconomic land sizes of smallholdings. These are further compounded
by adverse and unpredictable weather conditions. Despite a 20% increase in planted area from 2010
to 2020, sectoral GDP growth has been marginal at a compound average growth rate (CAGR) of 1.1%.
Export earnings are growing, albeit slowly, at a CAGR of 2.9% (2010-2020).

While this is partly attributable to fluctuating commodity prices and changes in current
exchange rates, overall challenges are primarily driven by three major issues. Firstly, the high
dependence on low-skilled foreign labour reduces pressure to improve productivity. Secondly,
more demanding sustainability requirements increase scrutiny on Agricommodity products and
require higher production costs due to compliance measures. Thirdly, there is insufficient product
diversification and value-creation, making it difficult to compete with emerging economies. These
three issues are further compounded due to the COVID-19 pandemic - a huge shock that created
even more complexities.

6 National Agricommodity Policy 2021-2030 (DAKN2030)

The DAKN2030 Framework
Was Developed Considering
Global Developments And
The National Agenda

Five mega-trends are anticipated to influence Agricommodity growth over the next 10 years:
the shift of global economic power to Asia; demographic shifts due to an ageing population
and changing values and expectations of Gen Z6; digital transformation of the agriculture (and
Agricommodity) sector; rising inequality, compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic; and increasing
scrutiny over environmental issues and climate impact.

The national agenda drives the overall priorities The DAKN2030 framework was thus
defined in the DAKN: developed with three components, as shown
in the accompanying exhibit:
• The Shared Prosperity Vision 2030
(SPV2030), with three objectives - 1. Strategic Direction – Vision and Policy
development for all; addressing wealth and Thrusts for the Agricommodity sector as a
income disparities; united, prosperous and whole
dignified nation
2. Commodity-specific Aspirations –
• Mainstreaming 17 Sustainable Aspiration for each commodity, supported
Development Goals (SDGs), a choice by targets, strategies and enablers for
Malaysia has made as part of national successful implementation
development planning
3. Cross-cutting Priorities – defines the
• The 12th Malaysia Plan 2021-2025 (RMK-12) way forward for critical areas that must
which sets socio-economic development be addressed holistically for balanced
priorities for the country over the next five development of the Agricommodity sector
years

• The Third National Physical Plan
(Rancangan Fizikal Negara Ke-3, RFN3)
which is the highest-level spatial planning
document in the national development
f ramework7

6 Gen Z refers to Generation Z - defined as people born between 1996 and 2012
7 RFN4 is due to be published towards end-2021. Relevant thrusts will be considered and incorporated into DAKN2030 implementation

programmes at that time.
