About Paddy & Rice
Due to the strategic importance of rice as a staple food, the paddy and rice industry in Malaysia has always received special attention and is heavily regulated. The industry is considered socially, politically, and economically important. The government has implemented significant interventions in both production and marketing of rice. These interventions aim to achieve self-sufficiency targets, improve farm incomes, and enhance marketing opportunities. They include providing irrigation and drainage facilities, subsidies for inputs such as fertilizers, price support or guaranteed minimum price for paddy, research and development, extension services, farm mechanization, credits, and processing and marketing facilities. Currently, Malaysia is able to produce around 70% of its rice consumption requirements.

Paddy Yield Model Estimation Vs Actual Value
The figure indicates the estimated paddy yield was examined by area planted, previous year paddy farm price and temperature.
Paddy Yield Model Equation
Paddy estimated to increase in its yield for each paddy field per hectare. This forecasting value highlighted that paddy yield will be at lowest which is more than 3 metric tonne per hectare.
Paddy Production Forecasting
This graph shows an improving trend in actual value for paddy production in Malaysia. Thus, the production is expected to rise for the next 10 years from 2021 until 2030.
Rice Consumption Model Estimation Vs Actual Value
The graph above shows that actual and estimation value for rice consumption per capita from year 1980 to 2020 is near to the value of actual data provided.
Rice Consumption Model Equation
This chart illustrates the rice consumption per capita from 1980 to 2020. The shaded area shows the forecasting rice consumption from 2021 to 2030 to be increasing and the highest consumption expected is more than 4,000 tonne per capita at year 2025.
Self-Sufficiency Level
The self-sufficiency level of rice which can be seen to gradually decreasing from 1980 to 1995, around 78%-70% indicates Malaysia adequate stock of rice shall be increased to ensure enough stockpile to fulfill people’s need. The stockpile of rice to be contributed by domestic rice production and rice import that clearly be seen to increasing.
Production And Yield By State
The graph shows the total area planted, total paddy production and average paddy yield of top states in Malaysia. It can be concluded that states in Northern and East Coast of Malaysia contribute to most of rice and paddy production and yield.
Climate Impact By State
Climate impact towards paddy yield measured by temperature and precipitation. The correlation coefficient for each state using temperature and precipitation recorded in Malaysia. Each point represents every state together with the information paddy yield and temperature.
