Rice is a traditional staple food and a defining feature in the culture of many countries especially those in Asia. The world rice output is expected to be 570 million tons by 2025. Despite its importance, some of the rice producing nations, including Malaysia, are still importing rice for their domestic consumption
There are more than 35 million paddy farmers in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand, with most of them owning farms of less than 1 ha each. Despite their vital role in ensuring food security for their countries, these farmers are largely living in poverty. This is mainly due to their low adaptation of agriculture technologies resulting in high cultivation costs and low production yield.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to fear of import restrictions, highlighting the importance of food security for rice importing countries and the need for enhancing local rice production. To ensure optimum local rice production - the issue of our main rice producers - the rice farmers’ poverty needs to be immediately addressed.
Estet Sepakat (ES) is at the forefront of solving these issues through the implementation of its Agriculture Technology as a Service (ATaaS) business in the agriculture sector of Malaysia and neighbouring ASEAN countries.
