Agriculture
EXCLUDING the cash crop of oil palm, Malaysia’s agriculture sector has not excited investors and large corporations. For the longest time, the sector has been dominated by smallholders and hardly has there been any listed company involved in say large scale vegetable farming.
But some changes are happening.
For one, the topic of food security has hogged the limelight, egged on by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Consumers have felt rising prices of staples such as vegetables and meat. The supply chain disruption has impacted the import and export of food products.
This in turn, has thrown up opportunities for some.
