MAHA INTERNATIONAL 2012 - 23 NOV TO 3 DIS 2012

2012-10-20T18:40:00.002+08:00

MINISTER QUOTED:

“MAHA International 2012, a 10-day biennial event is the leading agricultural exhibition in Malaysia. Being the largest and most comprehensive agricultural event in the ASEAN region, it has also been listed as one of the global agro exhibition. The Government of Malaysia and the Ministry of Agriculture and Agro-based Industry are indeed pleased to host this significant event where mindsets go beyond boundaries to create new business opportunities. I strongly believe that the seventh edition of MAHA International series will achieve even greater success”.

“Representing an important component of our national economic agenda under the Agriculture NKEA (National Key Economic Areas), the transformation of Agriculture into Agribusiness has been the key thrust in moving towards a modern, dynamic and competitive sector with greater economic contribution. The focuses will be on large scale commercial food production, increasing productivity, enhancing value-added activities, expanding into areas of growth with the potential to maximize agriculture’s contribution to national income, create employment, uplift income of producers and develop new sources of wealth”.

“MAHA International 2012 themed "Agricultural Transformation Through Innovation" is thus very much in line with the country’s aspiration to transform Agriculture into Agribusiness that aims to open up new opportunities and new sources of wealth. I am certainly pleased that the Organizer has also incorporated “The Farmers, Livestock Producers and Fishermen’s Day” (HPPNK) as one of its high-profiled concurrent events, which gives recognitions to farmers, livestock breeders, fishermen and agro-entrepreneurs across the country for their contributions and efforts in producing food-based materials and agricultural products for domestic needs as well as the international markets”.

“Making waves in heralding a multitude of concepts and structured comprehensive programs by the Organizers that reinforce MAHA / HPPNK 2012 as a premium showcase for the industry stakeholders, I believe it will certainly help realize the vision of the country to be more progressive with innovative technology, modern and be more competitive in the global arena”.

“Targeted to attract 3 million visitors as compared to 2.66 million visitors in 2010, 10 countries have currently confirmed their participation at MAHA / HPPNK 2012. In line with the increase visitorship, it is my fervent hope that sales and business transaction will garner an increase RM 30 million over RM23 million in 2010. MAHA2012 have proven track record which all State Governments, Ministries, Departments and Agencies, the private sectors, delegates from various countries will involved in the success of a 10 days event of MAHA / HPPNK 2012”.

IPM: New Frontier Towards Sustainable Agro Ecosystem

2012-10-20T18:04:00.001+08:00

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is the use of holistic and compatible methods of pest and disease control to reduce economic injury. IPM removes the overdependence on pesticides, making the process more sustainable. Improvements in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) can lead to sound crop health management programmes that contribute to resolving the unprecedented challenge of food security facing the international community, particularly in the wider contexts of climate change, trade globalization, environmental protection, and poverty alleviation. Harmful insects, fungal, viral, and bacterial pathogens, nematodes, rodents, and weeds are major constraints to agricultural production, productivity, and improved performance in agricultural systems. They cause chronic qualitative and quantitative losses of up to 40% of the attainable yield in major food and cash crops. Further significant losses occur after harvest. Reducing pre- and post-harvest losses caused by pests is a significant contribution towards improved food security and safety, and better market access. Success in the near future requires a more balanced approach to the management of crop health and a significant improvement in the approaches and scientific methods of IPM used to address crop losses.

There is a need to move away from isolated single-pest management towards crop health in general and an agricultural system performance that is congruent with farmers� concerns and with the broader pest situation. Substantial increases in food production can be attained relatively quickly by upgrading IPM strategies and linking them to the other sciences with an impact on crop health as a whole. This, however, requires adequate long-term financial investment in measures that reduce yield losses today. With this announcement, the Organising Committee invites everyone to participate in the 5th International symposium for the development of IPM for sustainable agriculture in Asia and Africa.

Enforcement of Illegal Pesticide in Malaysia

This topic was presented by Mr. Subramaniam David, the Deputy Director of Licensing and Enforcement Pesticide Control Division, Department of Agriculture. He has vast knowledge in the counterfeit and pesticide enforcement in the country. In his presentation, he mentioned illegal and counterfeit pesticide is harmful to human and environment. Usually, they are more destructive compared to the legal pesticide. To ensure the safety of user from illegal and counterfeit pesticide, the Enforcement and Licensing unit under the Department of Agriculture Malaysia, acted under the Pesticide Control Act 1974 is responsible in keeping these products from entering our country. Among the activities related to this unit are Inspection and Raiding of premises; Roadblocks at entry points; farm inspection; Monitoring of advertisement; Monitoring of HTP usage and monitoring of pesticide import permit for education and research purposes. From 2005 until 2010, the unit had conducted 4,486 raids, farm inspections and roadblocks which lead to confiscation activity that amount to RM245,790 in penalty. Types of products that confiscated are smuggled pesticides, pesticide without proper label, counterfeited pesticide and banned pesticide. To inform the users on the harmfulness of these illegal pesticides, the department has conducted awareness campaign such as giving talks and seminar; poster; training of farmers and extension agents. The department has formed Illegal Pesticide Combat Committee which includes NGOs, farmers association and CropLife in information sharing and networking to fight the ongoing problems in illegal and counterfeit pesticide in the country.

Illegal Pesticides: Compromise Food Safety and the Food Chain

Counterfeiting and the illegal trade of crop protection products are dangerous and growing problems for the plant science community. Plus, despite the legitimate pesticide industry being one of the most scientifically supervised and regulated sectors in the world, deregulation in world trade has inadvertently assisted in the sharp increase of counterfeit pesticides. These negative effects include:-

i) Risk to human health, the environment and food security, where stewardship is absent. Even when

stewardship is present, counterfeits damage crops, harm human health, etc.
ii)   Discouragement of honest entrepreneurs from investment in product development
iii) Hampering of investment, employment, technology transfer and tax revenues.
iv) Possibility that buyers of export crops will ban imports based on the use of counterfeit pesticides.
v)   Sales/reputation loss for legally abiding companies from damage by counterfeit products of their brand

      Counterfeiters of crop protection products are criminals who cause immeasurable harm to all levels of the food chain and damage to the environment and who create disastrous effects on the economies of exporting nations. Unscrupulous greed is the sole motivation of these organised crime networks whose forays into other industries such as pharmaceuticals or aircraft parts result in serious injury or death. The table below shows the economic significance of counterfeit-related crimes today.

Crime	US$ M	Crime	US$ M

For the plant science industry, counterfeiting discourages future investment in R&D and new technologies that help assure global food security, socio-economic development and the alleviation of hunger and poverty. More immediately, the defective nature of counterfeit pesticides risk the health and safety of agricultural workers.

However, agri-stakeholders can take anti-counterfeiting actions. And, to proactively protect the world’s food supply and stop the dangers of fake crop protection products, CropLife International and its member companies have formed an Anti-counterfeiting Task Force led by an anti-counterieting expert with 20 years of investigative experience. Among other initiatives, it works with the international police to seize counterfeit products, arrest counterfeiters, raise government and regulatory agency awareness of the dangers of fake products, and helps with agency restructuring and staff training to deal with this global threat. Our organisation is also working to improve anti-counterfeiting packaging and labels to include security marks and avoid product tampering, introducing hot line numbers to report illegal activity – and through training, enabling purchasers to distinguish authentic products from counterfeits .

Advocacy is effective in the campaign against counterfeiting and our global partners include the World Customs Organisation, the US Department of Homeland Security; Interpol, Europol; China’s Institute for the Control of Agrochemicals, Ministry of Agriculture (ICAMA); The Business Action to Stop Counterfeiting and Piracy (BASCAP); international shipping companies; and other international trade associations. Vigilance is our byword and – “Know Your Customer” and “Know Your Supplier” -- our tenets. We need your support to protect the future of sustainable food production as we strive to achieve food security.

For it is our duty that we sustain the environment, our planet earth for our future generation."
