Entrepreneurs involved in the production of agro-based products have been urged to

take advantage of loans and facilities offered by Tekun Nasional to increase the

production of halal food products to capture the overseas market that is estimated to

be worth RM3 trillion. This was because the Malaysian Halal logo is well accepted, and

in considered the most reliable in the whole world, Agriculture and Agro-based Industry

Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said. He added that many foreign companies

have used Malaysia as a hub to repack their products just to get Malaysias Halal stamp

in order to ease their products to be marketed throughout the world. With regards toTekun Nasional, a total of RM2.7 billion loans involving 258,676 participants has been

recorded. Agricultural entrepreneurs accounted to only 10% of the amount.

Global agricultural production is expected to grow 1.5% a year on average over the

coming decade, compared to 2.1% between 2003 and 2012, according to new report

published by the OECD and FAO released this week. The report expects prices to remain

above historical averages over the medium for both crop and livestock products due to acombination of slower production growth, and stronger demand from non-traditional

sectors, such as biofuels. However, the report maintains that price volatility will remain

amplified as long as food stocks in major producing and consuming countries remain

low. It noted that a repeat of the wide-spread drought in 2012 could raise world prices

by 15%-40% on average. Production from developing countries is expected to increase

in tandem, with meat production in particular being expected to contribute 80% of

growth.
