Food & Beverages Industry in the Eastern Region

OVERVIEW

Malaysia with its rich tropical and agricultural resources combined with the diverse cultures including Malay, Chinese and Indian; have resulted in a fascinating range of processed food with an Asian twist. Today’ lifestyle changes have led to the increase in the demand for convenience and health food.

Potential of Food & Beverages Industries in The East Coast Region of Malaysia

The huge potential of food & beverages industry development in Malaysia has prompted our government in giving their serious attention to develop the sector. Under the Industrial Master Plan 3 (IMP3), F&B was highlighted for promotion as well as seven (7) key of the strategic trusts for food processing are introduced;

IMP3: Strategic Thrusts for Food Processing

Ensuring the availability of the supply raw materials;
Expanding and diversifying food processing activities and promoting the growth of the targeted areas;
Enhancing sectoral linkages and support services;
Intensifying research and development;
Enhancing competitiveness and increasing export;
Strengthening human resource development; and
Strengthening the institutional support and delivery system

Initiatives under the East Coast Economic Region (ECER)

Based on its potential, the ECER Master Plan aims to enlarge the food processing industry (food and beverages) due to the advantageous geographical orientation, considerable labor pool especially in the rural areas, strong resource endowment, strong potential for property development and competitive wage rates compared to the West Coast State. Key initiatives devised are as follows;

The Incentives Offered Under ECER

New fiscal incentives include under ECER are:
i. Income tax exemption up to 10 years;
ii. Investment tax allowance (ITA) amounting to 100% of qualifying capital expenditure for 5 years;
iii. Stamp duty exemption;
iv. Import duty and sales tax exemption

Under the ECER Masterplan, Halal F&B sector are identified to be developed via Halal Parks in Kelantan (Pasir Mas) and Pahang (Gambang). The objective of Halal Park is to participate in Malaysian’s vision ‘To be the Global Halal Hub or Halal Center for the World’ and to take advantage of rising global halal products and market development.

The components of the Halal Park included;
· Industrial site
· Incubator centers
· Logistic and distribution center
· SMIs development center
· Research and development center
· Land and infrastructure development for industrial park
· Marketing and promotion

Strength and Weaknesses: ECER as F&B Producer

The key strengths of ECER for the developments of F&B industries are;
Strong resources endowment
Considerable labor pool especially in the rural areas and among females
Competitive wage rates compared to the West Coast States
Strong potential for property development
Lower cost of living
Good education system and other basic community services
Advantageous geographical orientation

The potential of F&B industry in the ECER is boost by the growing population with rising income in Malaysia, where the demand for food consumption, animal feed and industrial usage has increase. Abundance of available land had also made the East Coast region a cheaper alternative for the food and beverages industry or agriculture itself. In addition, incentives offered by the ECER Master Plan are expected to influence the investor for capital injection in the industry.

The drawback of East Coast Region of Malaysia includes slow rate of capital accumulation in all aspect of the industry especially in term of inward investment. Traditional methods of farming are stilll being used by the farmer, and quick expansion of the industry is impossible without the modernization of machine and farming technology.

Ministry of Agriculture and Agro-based Industry (MOA) had further stated additional challenges in this industry which are;
Increase in food prices;
Increase cost of production inputs or raw material;
Land constraint;
Old and unskilled workforce;
Unavailability and low quality of seedlings;
Unavailability of agriculture infrastructure;
Less commercialization of R&D and innovation.

Several ways have been identified to reselve the challenges including:
Developing larger labor pool as well as skill capacities;
Implementing mechanization and automation in the sector for more effective and efficient work task;
Encouraging private sector participation;
Adoption of modern technology and k-economy driven to boost this industry abroad.
Enhancement of the support system for instance R&D, marketing strategies, special incentives and funding to assist the sector to be more competitive.
Introduction and development of the agro-tourism industry as additional income attraction to the industry.
