Abstract
What are the problems facing by agricultural and economic development in Malaysia? With the help of modern technology and research as well as the Government’s alms, are there still any underlying problem which the government has not realized? In order to overcome all these underlying problems, what are the areas that the government should look into and what are the steps that the government should take to execute its agricultural development programs? This paper is divided into five major parts. Part One is to study the basic facts about the agriculture in West Malaysia. Part Two looks into the Government’s aim for agricultural development. Part Three studies about the implementation of agricultural policy. Part Four discusses the main steps taken by Government to define and execute its agricultural development program. Last but not least, Ungku concluded the paper with Part Five which discusses the effectiveness of the agricultural policy and its implementation, taking into account certain developments that have occurred rather recently.
