THANK you to M. Veera Pandiyan for his piece on agriculture in Malaysia “Just too much to swallow” (The Star, Sept 18), and Datuk Wee Beng Ee for sharing his views on the same topic in his letter “In search of young and visionary agro-entrepreneurs” (The Star, Sept 28). Both highlighted the state of our nation’s food security and opportunities in the agricultural sector, and called on Malaysian youths to step up to the challenge.
The agriculture and agribusiness landscape has been steadily improving since World War II. The 1980s saw the rise of biotechnology and this decade, we entered the next phase of growth with the confluence of IR4.0 (Fourth Industrial Revolution) technologies and agriculture.
