Agricultural Development In Malaysia: Challenges & Way Forward

This Agricultural Development in Malaysia book is divided into eight chapters. The book is written to enable the readers to understand the process of agricultural development and changes from traditional to commercial agriculture within the context of an industrial economy. Moreover, this book intends to educate Malaysian readers to appreciate the role of agriculture in the various economies. The youths are also not interested in taking up agricultural jobs because they think that agricultural lands are converted to housing.
