Study Notes
Aquaculture Global Production & Malaysia's Role
- Global aquaculture production in 2019 reached 122.6 million tonnes, valued at USD 281.5 billion.
- Asia-Pacific is the highest producer, with Malaysia ranking 15th globally and 6th in Asia.
Malaysia's Aquaculture Industry
- 2018 aquaculture production in Malaysia was 521,000 tonnes.
- Aquaculture contributes 8.9% to Malaysia's agricultural GDP.
- It supports 1.75 million jobs.
- Primary marine products are clams (54%), shrimps (22.4%), and giant tiger prawns (17.3%).
- Key freshwater products are tilapia (44.7%), catfish (36.7%), and carps (10.08%).
- Ornamental fish and aquatic plants are also valued commodities.
Challenges and Issues in Aquaculture
- Unsustainable practices lead to pollution, ecosystem damage, and biodiversity loss.
- Reliance on wild and imported broodstock affects sustainability.
- Overfishing, pollution, and climate change reduce wild fish stocks.
- Diseases like Tilapia Lake Virus (TiLV) and Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS) impact production.
- Negative media influence reduces demand, especially for tilapia.
- Labor shortages increase operational challenges.
- Non-halal aquaculture practices may conflict with Malaysia's halal status.
- Poor communication between industry players and authorities hampers growth.
Urban Agriculture: Definition and Overview
- Urban agriculture involves cultivating, processing, and distributing food in or around cities.
- Includes animal husbandry, aquaculture, agroforestry, beekeeping, and horticulture.
- Aims to provide fresh food, create jobs, recycle waste, and enhance urban resilience.
- Common practices include community gardens, rooftop gardening, vertical farming.
Urban Agriculture Impacts
- Reduces household food expenses.
- Encourages micro-enterprises and local economic activities.
- Optimizes land use, improves landscapes, and supports organic farming.
- Enhances urban ecology through reuse of waste and wastewater.
- Alleviates poverty and integrates marginalized groups.
- Promotes social cohesion.
- Helps reduce Malaysia's dependency on imported food.
- Increases access to nutritious produce.
Urban Agriculture Key Technologies
- Aquaponics: Combines fish farming with soilless plant cultivation.
- Hydroponics: Grows plants in nutrient-rich water without soil.
- Aeroponics: Uses misted nutrient solutions for plant roots.
- Vertical Farming: Employs vertically stacked layers to maximize space.
Government Initiatives for Urban Agriculture
- Establishment of urban farming communities (target: 20,000 by 2030).
- Urban agriculture as part of sustainable development efforts.
- Initiatives to reduce urban living costs.
- Promotion of technologies like aquaponics, hydroponics.
Challenges in Malaysian Agriculture
- Limited agricultural land due to deforestation.
- Agriculture's high water consumption.
- Low productivity of smallholder farmers.
- Declining global Total Factor Productivity (TFP).
- Mismatch between production and market demand.
- Unconducive business environment (short land tenure, inadequate facilities).
- Pests, natural disasters, and overfishing.
- Unsustainable practices harm biodiversity.
- Youth disengagement.
- Reluctance of financial institutions to fund agriculture.
- Lack of adequate insurance and risk management.
- Issues with coordination among agencies.
- Overlap in roles between federal and state levels.
- Low-investment for high-value commodities.
- Changing global diets (e.g., increased demand for protein-based foods).
- Urbanization leading to higher food consumption.
- Strong competition from neighboring countries and inadequate regulation.
Technological Innovations in Agriculture
- Precision Farming using GPS for variable input application.
- Robotics, AI, and automation for crop monitoring and cultivation.
- Satellite technology and blockchain for supply chain transparency.
Sustainability in Agriculture
- Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and biological control methods.
- Developing drought-resistant and disease-resistant crops.
- Improving nutrient uptake and utilization.
- Increased resource efficiency.
Government Strategies and Incentives for Malaysian Agriculture
- Allocating funds for agricultural development.
- Supporting research and development.
- Promoting sustainable and climate-resilient agriculture.
- Incentives for technology adoption.
- Improving market access and financing.
