Table 2 and Fig. 3 show the acreages of major crop commodities in
Malaysian agriculture over the years. Invariably, there were gradual increase in
areas planted with oil palm, fruits, often at the expense of rubber and cocoa
principally, and other crops as well. Changes in the acreages of these major crop
commodities were translated into parallel decline in production. For example, in
1990, rubber production was ca. 1,292K tonnes valued at RM3,028 million, while
the estimated parallel figures for 2008 were 567K tones valued at RM9236
million. The opposite trends were registered for oil palm with production figures
