Grow With Sustainability

MTC will remain vigilant and sensitive to the policy
and market changes globally while continuing to
promote the sustainable values of Malaysian timber.

Moving forward, it will continue its efforts to
educate consumers the world over on the value of
Malaysian timber as renewable and sustainable
resources as it becomes an increasingly popular
material among sustainability leaders and green
constructions. More timber buildings are also
being built around the world and recent studies have
found that timber-framed buildings have a lower
emission throughout its life cycle emissions, and
when sequestration is included, the benefit can be
more significant. MT is proud to proclaim that
the timber facade of the Malaysian Pavilion is
constructed with sustainable Malaysian Meranti
timber which is P certified. As such, wider
application of timber can be explored, not only to
meet SD goals, but also ta ing into consideration
the welfare of the future generations.

are adopted across the supply chain, including
traceability of cocoa beans, M has set up a
traceability system for locally produced and
imported cocoa beans to ensure mar etability of the
cocoa products. The end-to-end value chain will be
supported through education on sustainability and
traceability and now-how on the implementation of

Strategic partnerships with downstream players

economically viable crops such as coconut, rubber
and oil palm will also be encouraged. Smallholders
will continue to be supported through cluster
farming or modernised cooperatives.

As competing on volume and cost is becoming

more challenging, the Malaysian cocoa industry

emphasises on niche, speciality cocoa beans

that command higher prices. Smallholders will

be encouraged to shift towards organic farming

practices and to produce fine or flavour cocoa .

Kenaf Industry

The National Kenaf and Tobacco Board (NKTB) was established
on 1 April 2010 through the enforcement of the National Kenaf
and Tobacco Board Act 2009 [Act 692].

The main objective of this board is to develop and strengthen the kenaf
industry in Malaysia in line with kenaf industry development policy. In
addition, NKTB is also responsible for regulating the tobacco industry
in Malaysia in accordance with the provisions as mentioned in the Act.

MISSION

To build and advance the

the purpose of generating the

USING TECHNOLOGY TO FUEL THE INDUSTRY

Enhancing The Value Chain Via Technology
And Innovation
While the National Commodity Policy emphasises
on kenaf development in Malaysia as a sustainable
raw materials, technology is being deployed to
resolve processing, storage and logistics issues. The
initiatives are developed to enhance the value chain
and create demand for kenaf-based products for
both domestic and international market.
An example is the production of non-woven fibre,
widely used as raw materials to produce other
fibre-based product such as insulator, automotive
components etc. With this method, it is expected
that production is able to generate 2,400 tonnes of
non-woven fibre worth RM 18 million/per year.

Kenaf Processing Centre
The Kenaf Processing Centre was set up to overcome
the issue of unprocessed raw material and storage
and to develop entrepreneurs to venture into the
field of kenaf processing (midstream level). With
this in place, kenaf entrepreneurs would be able to
generate earnings of at least RM3 million per year
with a processing capacity of 6,000 tonnes of kenaf
stem.

64 Growth Through Sustainability

Integrated Kenaf Industrial Park
The Integrated Kenaf Industrial Park is developed as a
complete industrial development (from cultivation to
production) project. It also consists of an integrated
system with cultivation area as well as processing
facilities/infrastructure provided by NKTB at the
midstream level and downstream sector.

Kenaf Research And Development (R&D) Fund
Kenaf’s R & D Fund is a grant provided by the
National Kenaf and Tobacco Board to carry out
kenaf-based research and development projects that
can contribute to the discovery of new ideas in the
kenaf industry. The R&D Fund is open to research
agencies, institutions of higher learnings, private
companies and other agencies to support research
related to kenaf or kenaf-based product innovation
for commercialisation, technological development
and new discoveries in cultivation, harvesting and
processing.

PUSHING AHEAD TO MEET GROWING
MARKET DEMAND

The kenaf industry has come a long way since it was
first introduced as an alternative crop to tobacco
in 2005. Despite some challenges along the way,
kenaf cultivation has expanded as demand for
fibre continues to grow in importance globally in
various industrial sectors because of its sustainable
values. Moving forward, the Government will further
strengthen the kenaf industry and develop other
plant fibre-based industries as one of the sustainable
sources of raw materials in line with policies set by
the Government and international organisations.
