PRODUCTION AREAS
From 4 areas of
production, Belait is
the largest,
contributing 35% of
the total production.

PLANNED AREAS OF EXPANSION

The government has planned 2,560 ha new land for rice production
With a yield of 0.7MT rice milled/ha, the new area is expected to produce
an additional 1,792 MT.

ANALYSIS AND FORECAST

GoB has set a target of SSL and local production for 2010 and 2015.
By extrapolation of the given target, total production area required
for 2010 and 2015 is 8,286 and 25,714 ha respectively.
