Formerly located on www.geocities.com/lohyugee website (and mirrored on pc.shoppe.tripod.com) As promised, here are the hyperlinks that I sincerely believe will provide more information than we would ever need to complete the project :) Of course, these would just serve to "top-up" the wealth of data you all have managed to gather from the National Library... Also, the top part of this page might look the same, but I might have updated (added, deleted, modified) the hyperlinks at the bottom part of the page... do take a look at the bottom part once in a while, k? :) Book cover photo: http://www.econ.upm.edu.my/~peta/buku.html Proceedings of PETA Seminar Repositioning of Agriculture Industry in the Next Millennium Proceedings of PETA Seminar on "Repositioning of Agriculture Industry in the Next Millennium" is available on hard copy for sale.

Read on until the end of this document. J PETA stands for Persatuan Ekonomi Pertanian Malaysia, or Malaysian Agricultural Economics Association (MAEA). About MAEA: The Malaysian Agricultural Economics Association (MAEA) was founded in 1980 as a non-profit professional society to enhance the discipline of agricultural economics in order to improve the agriculture sector and its contribution to the Malaysian economy. It has drawn membership from agricultural economists as well as other professionals related to it from the universities, government agencies, corporate sector and industries. To date it has a total 115 members. It has organized a number of seminars, workshops, and educational activities and participated actively in providing inputs to the government with regards to agricultural policy and development. MAEA publishes its very own journal Malaysian Journal of Agricultural Economics since in 1984 to enhance the discipline of agricultural economics in order to improve the agriculture sector and its contribution to the Malaysian economy. The Malaysian Journal of Agricultural Economics (MJAE, ISSN 0127-7685) provides a forum for scholarly work in Agricultural Economics. Fruits have been long looked upon as the "food of the gods" because of their medicinal and nutritive values. Botanically, fruits are the ripened seed bearing ovaries of flowers after fertilization has taken place. Popularly, the term fruit is used to describe fresh fruits of trees and plants that can be eaten raw or cooked in a number of ways. Nutritionally, fruits provide us with energy, vitamins, minerals, amino-acids and fiber. They are God's gift to mankind who today can enjoy a wide variety of fruits because of faster transportation and better marketing facilities. The Malaysian fruit industry began to grow rapidly after 1980. The government encouraged the development of fruit estates by providing farmers with incentives and technological back-up facilities in the growing, processing and marketing of fruits. Clones of high-yielding varieties of fruits were introduced and efforts were made to produce good quality fruit. Popular fruits such as papaya, star fruit and guava which were economically unimportant before 1980 became profitable commercial fruits. As a result of innovative changes in the fruit industry in terms of choice of fruits, growing trends and area under cultivation, the export of fruits increased from RM 16.9 million in 1980 to RM 142.33 million in 1990. Forestry research started in the year 1901 with the planting of Jelutong for its latex in Taiping by the British. In its 100 years of history, milestones were etched by valuable discoveries of new species and products, invention of technologies and innovations, as well as the introduction and implementation of improved management techniques in forestry and forest industries.
