INDUSTRY :

FOOD & BEVERAGES


Food production is seen to expand further with the Government's policy to reduce the food import bill and promote self-sufficiency by 2010 through expansion of idle lands and mechanization of farming methods as well as promotion of good farming practices. Areas of activity that will boost this sector include aquaculture, deep-sea fishing, floriculture as well as herbs cultivation.


Output of the food products industry grew significantly by 12.7% (January-June 2006: 1.1%). This was driven by higher output in processing and preserving of fish and fish products, which grew by 27.1% in tandem with increased marine fish landings. In addition, the robust growth of food products was also supported by increased output of dairy (16.0%) and grain mill products (7.0%), in particular, rice milling which increased 17.7%, benefiting from higher production of paddy. Meanwhile, other food products, particularly, sugar refinery and biscuit products also registered double-digit growth ranging between 23.0% and 25.0%.

 

Export receipts of food products increased by 15.9% (RM5,268 million) while beverages 106.5% (RM580 million) as a result of continuous efforts by manufacturers to attain quality assurance and accreditation for Malaysia's food and beverages products.


The Government has identified the processed food industry as one of the major growth sectors of the economy under the Ninth Malaysia Plan (9MP). Under the 9MP, the food commodities subsector is expected to grow at an average rate of 7.6% per annum through improvements in efficiency and productivity as well as expansion in hectarage. Exports of food commodities will be increased to achieve a positive food trade balance. The production of 'padi' will be increased to meet the target of self-sufficiency level of 90%. The production of fruits will be undertaken on a large-scale in the fruit production zones using the cluster development approach and concentrating on nine fruit species which have export potential. The production of vegetables will focus on high value varieties for local consumption and selected export markets. The Green Book Programme to promote cultivation of food crops at the community level will be reactivated.


The Government has approved an allocation of RM11.4 billion representing an increase of 70% compared with the Eighth Plan allocation for the sector. Among the objectives of the plan are large-scale commercial farming and greater application of modern technology and ICT to produce higher value-added processed food and food products.


Production of 'halal' food will be further promoted to take advantage of the vast potential of the 'halal' export market. This will include processing and packaging of meat, fisheries and other food-based products. In addition, Malaysia will be developed as the centre for the certification of 'halal' products and the Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM) 'halal' certification will be promoted worldwide. Concerted efforts to develop Malaysia as world halal hub to capture new markets worldwide would provide impetus for further growth of the local food industry.


The market for convenience and functional foods is expected to grow rapidly in view of the changing consumption patterns and greater awareness of healthy lifestyles. In this regard, the production and supply of ready-to-use seafood, livestock products and vegetable-based convenience food will be promoted as new areas of investment. Palm oil and cocoa-based food ingredients will be further developed in terms of products range and quality. The better performance in the food products industry was also due to greater efforts undertaken by the industry to keep pace with advancement in technology.


Note : The Ninth Malaysia Plan (9MP) was tabled in Parliament on March 31, 2006, is the five-year blueprints within the new National Mission policy and implementation framework from now until 2010. Malaysia is expected to see some structural changes and improved performance in the economy.

 

 

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : Strong Growth

 

 

COMMENTS

 

 


Established in 1996, the SC is principally engaged in trading and distributing of foodstuff such as rice, flour, onions, garlics, chillies, potatoes and etc. Being a exempt private company, the SC's paid up capital stands at RM250,000 and the shares are held equally by two individual shareholders. Having been in the market for over a decade, the SC should have built up its own image and reputation over times.

 


Investigation revealed that the SC only serves the domestic market and it is mainly targeting on retailers as well as dealers. With the only concentration in the local market, it limits the business expansion opportunities of the SC. Besides, the SC is likely to be affected by any changes in the local economy. Hence, its business risk is high. With a staff strength of 45, the SC is overseen by its Director, Teh Eng Ghee.

 


As an exempt private company, the SC is not required by the law to disclose its financial accounts for public review. Without its financial accounts, we are unable to ascertain the current financial standing of the SC.

 


We noted that 60% of the SC's supplies are imported from overseas countries and the rest are obtained locally. Being highly dependent on overseas suppliers, the SC might be exposed to forex risk.

 


The SC is clear of litigation.

 


The industry remains robust with continuing domestic demand for its products. There is no doubt that the food industry is growing in tandem with the rising population. However, due to the intense competition in the market, the SC is required to employ aggressive strategies in order to broaden its market segment and capture higher market shares in the industry.

 


In view of the above, we recommend credit be granted to the SC under reliable guarantee.
