The Malaysian Irony
Malaysia has developed the agricultural capacity to produce
60% of the world’s Palm Oil
YetCannot feed its own tiny population
of 27 million !
www.mohdpeterdavis.com
History of Malaya-MalaysianAnimal Production in Humid Tropics
For 500 years have been using the same agricultural model
European type GrazingFor cattle, cows, sheep, goatsBUT FAILS REPEATEDLY
Industrialised Malaysia Still Imports:-77% Beef 92% Mutton 95% Milk

“Malaysia produces ONLY HALF of its current food consumption
using its own resources”“ In the world economic collapse
Malaysia will face mass starvation far worse than the
Japanese Occupation”March 2002 National Conference
Mohd Peter Davis & Makhdzir Mardan, UPM

Without ImportsMalaysia’s food industries will collapse
CONSUMPTION PRODUCTION 2007 (with NO imports)Beef 5.1kg/person/yr 1.1kg/person/yrMutton 0.7 0.06Pork 5.0 0.2 Chicken 33.2 0.6 ?Eggs 16.0 0.3 ? TOTAL 60.0 kg 2.3 kg (estimate)
TRUE self-sufficiency for Meat & Eggs Less than 4%

Overcame 4 biological problems of Grazing Animals in
Humid Tropics2. Heat Stress3. High parasite & disease load4. Poor nutrition of native grasses5. Improved pastures get overgrown Feeding PKC under intensive conditions
overcame ALL these problems

Deep Tropical Gift Farming Model
has discovered the secret of economically producing sheep, goats, cattle and milking cows
in the humid tropics

Malaysian climate supports world’s highest rate of Biomass Production

ROZI grass Grows 3-feet in 35 days (1 inch per day) in a Plantation
GRASS CUT AT35 DAYS IS PERFECT FOR FEEDING TO RUMINANTSGrass can be cut ten times per year for three years before ploughing

Malaysia’s Competitive AdvantageWORLD’S HIGHEST RATE BIOMASS PRODUCTION
Oil Palm in HUMID TROPICS produces
8-10 times more oil per hectare compared to Soybean or Rapeseed in
TEMPERATE CLIMATES“Due to high PHOTOSYNTHETIC rates
resulting in ten times higher CO2
absorption and oxygen emission rates than observed with soybean”
Ref: Yusof Basiron, Eur.J.Lipid Sci. Tecnol 109 (2007) 287-295

60 to 70% COSTof animal production
is the feed costMalaysian Grass plantations
take 3 months to establishVast land in Sabah & Sarawak
Sheep in GIFT shelters are easy care animals

3 TIMES CHEAPER FEEDfor sheep, goats, cattle, dairy cows

Malaysia’s Deep Tropical GIFT Farming Model
WORLD COMPARISONFar Superior to Grazing System
1 hectare of grass plantation can maintain 82 Breeding sheep
and produce 170 lambsCompared to 25 sheep per hectare
On Best New Zealand grazing farmswww.mohdpeterdavis.com
Revenue per HectareLambs versus Palm Oil
1 ha Grass Plantation required to maintain 82 breeding ewes and produce 170 lambs per year
170 LAMBS SOLD (Ram lamb RM350, Ewe lamb RM650)
RM85,000 /ha /yrPALM OIL 21 ton/ha @ RM600/ton
RM12,600 /ha /yr CONCLUSION:
Lambs generate 7 times more Revenue

CONCLUSION
Malaysia’s Deep Tropical GIFT Farming Model
is now being recognised as a
world agricultural breakthroughIt is time for Malaysian Scientists
Government and Industryto enthusiastically support it
Last week Minister of Agriculture briefed
www.mohdpeterdavis.com
CUT GRASS EVERY
35 DAYS FOR 3 YEARS
Fed to sheep, goats, cattle, milking cows
in cool climate sheds
GREAT increase in
Meat and Milkproduction
World Breakthrough : Malaysian Grass Plantations
DEEP TROPICAL GIFT FARMING MODEL 3 TIMES MORE PRODUCTIVE
Than Best New Zealand Grazing Farms
IN BRIEF
www.mohdpeterdavis.com
Malaysian Rubber production2008 Estimate 1.19m tonnes from 973,000 hectares
RM4.27/kg (SMR20 price Dec 2008)Therefore present value of Rubber 1.19m tonnes x RM4.27/kg
= RM5.08 billion per year From 973,000 hectares Rubber Income RM5222 per year per hectare plantation (at RM4.27/kg)
GIFT Lamb Production (Potential income selling young Ewe lambs RM650, Ram lambs RM350)
Weaned Lamb Income RM85,000 /yr/hectare grass plantation Conclusion (Dec 2008): GIFT lamb production will be 16 times more profitable
per hectare compared to rubber
