FISH FORECASTING THROUGH SATELLITE TECHNOLOGY

Increase in fuel cost, forces new method in the fishing industryFish forecasting predicts the location of fish in abundance Make use of fish food (chlorophyl) and sea water temperature from Satellite data.Collaboration between the remote sensing agency and fish development authority (LKIM)

Outcome:9Millions USD save in diesel fuel permonth to fishermenThe fish search time reduced by 30% to give 20% increase in their income

NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY FOR AGRICULTURE

Mutagenesis is a techniques to improves plant’s productivity using nuclear technologyLow radiation level is applied to the seeds that causes it to be pest/disease resistant, high yield, better taste and short gestation period.It is proven to be safe and IAEA approved.Nuclear Malaysia focuses on increasing the production of seed to cater for Increased demand by the market

Scope of Transformation

Current Situation After Transformation

Farm Size:- Small- Uneconomic

Large scale, commercial & economic

Labour Force:- Limited- Ageing

Mechanization, automation & technologyLess labour intensive activities

Farm management:Professional, agriculture is business,- Traditional- “satisfactory”- “enough”- Manual

Application of ICT, Commercial management / collective / economic of scale, Business Plan

Page 22: Advancing the Transfer of Agricultural Technology & Research : Malaysia’s Perspective

Scope of Transformation

Current Situation After Transformation

Less / not competitive:- Low product quality- non-standard quality- product dumping- price factor

Standard, certification & export quality

Return on Investment:- Low- Time consuming

Diversified returns:Mixed farming, intercropping, value added
