Goat Industry in ECER

2. Brief Introduction of the Project (Brief Description) The East Coast Economic Region Master Plan has identified Terengganu to be the leading producer of goats, mutton and other related products under the Terengganu Goat Production Cluster. The focus on the goat industry is largely driven by the low levels of self-sufficiency currently experienced in the goat industry in Malaysia. The Malaysia Government aims to increase the self-sufficiency in small ruminant (goat and sheep) meat to 35% by 2015 and ECER is anticipated to play a key role in achieving this target. The size of the mutton industry is expected to grow from RM257 million in 2006 to over RM300 million in 2010 and over RM450 million in 2015. There will be a 3-tier breeding and genetic improvement plan involving the setting up of a Research & Development and Nucleus Farm to improve genetics, Multiplier Farms to reproduce the genetically improved goats and distribute them and Commercial Farms to breed and prepare the finished goats for the markets. The Boer breed has been identified as the elite breed for the development of the goat industry in Malaysian. The breeds will initially be imported for the Nucleus Farm. Goats in this farm will undergo stringent selection procedures for genetic improvement. The selected offspring will be distributed to the high quality breeders in the goat industry. The aim is to develop a fully-integrated (upstream and downstream) goat industry, with efficient processes in the goat production capacity, to further strengthen the industry. The project will embark on human capital development among farmers to ensure that they are trained and skilled to meet the requirements of the industry stakeholders.

3. Cooperation Form

Investment Opportunities The Government of Malaysia is currently setting up the farm development and infrastructure facilities for the Nucleus Farm and an investor is being sought to operate the facility on an operational lease basis. The Government of Malaysia will set up the farm development and infrastructure facilities for the Multiplier Farms and multiplier operators are being sought to operate the facility on an operational lease basis. Investors are encouraged to participate as Anchor Companies to set up nucleus and contract farming arrangements with local farmers, as well as establish one-stop collection, processing, packaging and distribution centres to market the finished products.

Halal Parks in ECER

2. Brief Introduction of the Project Brief Description The establishment of Halal Parks for food and non-food products is in line with Malaysia’s vision “to be the Global Halal Hub” and to take advantage of increasing global Halal products market development. To date, the Muslim demographic has expanded to nearly 1.56 billion with Indonesia having more than 200 million of its adherents followed by Pakistan, India and Bangladesh with more than 100 million Muslims each. 70% of Muslims worldwide follow Halal food standards. Currently, the global Halal food market is estimated as a US$630 billion industry (as cited by Halal Journal). For food and consumer products manufacturers, the focus in ECER will be on Halal products produced for the local and export market, as well as fish-based food products such as sauces, condiment and snacks, which have been the hallmark of the region’s distinctive food culture. Apart from the food sector, there is also demand for halal products in the cosmetics & personal care and baby care sector, OTC pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals sector as well as in the services sector (Halal logistics, Halal warehouse and storage, Islamic financial services and Halal tourism).

3. Cooperation Form Investment Opportunities The Government of Malaysia is currently setting up the farm development and infrastructure facilities for the Nucleus Farm and an investor is being sought to operate the facility on an operational lease basis. The Government of Malaysia will set up the farm development and infrastructure facilities for the Multiplier Farms and multiplier operators are being sought to operate the facility on an operational lease basis. Investors are encouraged to participate as Anchor Companies to set up nucleus and contract farming arrangements with local farmers, as well as establish one-stop collection, processing, packaging and distribution centres to market the finished products.

Pineapple Industry in ECER

2. Brief Introduction of the Project The total planted area with pineapple in Malaysia stood at 11,965 ha in 2007, comprising 5,965 ha of smallholders and 6,000 ha in the estate sector. Most of the production areas are located in Johor due to the prevalence of relatively large areas of developed peat soils. The large-sale development of pineapple plantations in ECER will significantly add to the country’s stock of pineapple plantations. The large scale production of pineapple and establishment of processing facilities could also result in wastes from the field and factory to be utilized as cattle feed and organic fertilizer. For example, during replanting phase (after fruit harvest), 2 types of pineapple-based feedstuffs are produced: (1) Pineapple hay from biomass of plant tops (leaves, stems, crowns) and (2) Pineapple bran from cannery waste from skins and pulp. It has been proposed that a cattle feedlot system be established to complement the project. Taking into account the growing demand for fresh pineapple and the increased production of canned pineapples from Thailand, China and Vietnam, amongst other reasons, seems to suggest a case for production of fresh pineapple rather than the canned variety. Location Within the ECER, the areas around the districts of Pekan and Rompin in Pahang have been identified as areas to be developed for pineapple cultivation. About 2,000 ha of land will initially be made available in the Rompin district for production and cultivation of fresh pineapple.

3. Cooperation Form

Investors are welcomed to participate as anchor company investors who can lease the land from the state government at competitive rates and receive incentive packages from ECERDC. The anchor company investor will develop their own pineapple nucleus farm as well as engage in contract farming arrangements with out-growers in the region. In addition, the anchor company will operate a Collection, Processing & Packaging Centre (CPPC) and undertake its own marketing and distribution activities. Investor with knowledge in mechanisation would be ideal to reduce the heavy labour-intensive nature of industry. Investors are encouraged to participate as Anchor Companies to set up nucleus and contract farming arrangements with local farmers, as well as establish one-stop collection, processing, packaging and distribution centres to market the finished products.

Poultry Industry in ECER

2. Brief Introduction of the Project The East Coast Economic Region (ECER) is well suited to the production of poultry and poultry products owing to an abundance of existing smallholder expertise and large, undeveloped and sufficiently isolated tracts of prime land in the region which allows the creation of segregated, diseased-free poultry production compartments. A fully vertically integrated model is envisioned covering Feed Mills to Breeders to Hatcheries to Farms to Processing. When it comes to breeding, Grandparent stock (GPS) is sourced from specialist breeders and in GPS breeding farms, GPS broilers produce eggs from which Parent stock (PS) broilers are produced. These PS broilers in turn lay eggs which are used to hatch broiler stock. At the hatchery, PS eggs are incubated and hatched into Day Old Chicks (DOC). Day Old Chicks are grown in broiler farms until maturity, following which they are slaughtered and then processed into meat products in the primary and value-added processing facilities. With regards to the above, a single company will oversee all aspects of production and processing within the cluster, and provide a single face for export certification and export negotiation purposes. Sub contracts for selected segments such as contract broiler farming can be implemented; however, these value chain segments must be located within the compartmentalized zone.

3. Project Status There are 3 poultry production clusters in ECER with value-added processing centered in Chendering (Terengganu), Gambang (Pahang) and Gua Musang (Kelantan). The Gua Musang Integrated Poultry Park has been designated as ECER’s permanent poultry production park to produce and supply high-value poultry products to the local and export markets. While the Chedering and Gambang clusters are home to smaller value-added processors that will provide demand for broilers (through contract farming agreements) from the surrounding farms.

4. Cooperation Form

Investors could potentially invest in any of the 3 clusters. The Gua Musang cluster is best suited for companies with a strong export focus as there is sufficient land for a large-scale vertically-integrated project that is capable of meeting the requirements of large export markets. A foreign strategic player in the poultry industry would be ideal as they would provide knowledge, established distribution networks and a capital base to build a top-end value-added processed food business.



Tourism Industry at Cherating

2. Brief Introduction of the Project The ECER welcomed over 1.9 million foreign tourists and 8.3 million domestic tourists in 2005. In 2008, amidst a year of global economic challenges, the number of tourists increased even more, to 3.6 million foreign tourists and 12.6 million domestic tourists. These numbers are forecast to grow to 7.4 million foreign tourists and 21.4 million domestic tourists by 2020. This growth naturally increases demand for room accommodation, better transport and other tour-related services. The Cherating Master Plan has detailed an integrated development of resorts and world-class facilities for tourists in upgrading the image of this popular coastal getaway. Once known as the location of Club Med, Cherating will now be regarded as a more comprehensive tourism destination with multiple options. Cherating village has been identified as a focal point for tourism and the upgrading of public spaces and tourism facilities is being proposed. Developments such as a public park complete with food and beverage components, a water park, village street, culture centre, landscaping scenic road and upgrading of facilities are being proposed. A tourism entertainment village with a public park, complete with a water slide park and vibrant public boulevard, are expected to draw in both local and foreign tourists. Complementing this village ambiance will be a resort enclave of international standard, complete with facilities and amenities that the well-travelled tourist will appreciate.

3. Cooperation Form

Investors are invited to develop any part of the integrated resort and facilities within the Cherating area, including village resort, golf resort, hotels, villas and wellness & spa centres, amongst others.
