Revitalising Malaysian agriculture has become a priority goal, given the appointment of Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin as Agriculture Minister. There are, however, complex issues involving trade agreements, domestic structural problems and appropriateness of techniques that have to be grappled with. 

INTEREST on agriculture has been climbing since Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi announced his intention to revitalise the sector. With Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin shifting to the Agriculture Minister portfolio just over a week ago, even more attention has been aroused.
