Aayiz Siddique , Institute of Agricultural and Food Policy Studies, University Putra Malaysia, Selangor, MalaysiaAbstract
This study conducts a comparative analysis of returns to technology and scale in broiler production across Peninsular Malaysia. Broiler production is a significant component of the poultry industry in Malaysia, and understanding the dynamics of technology adoption and production scale is crucial for sustainable growth and competitiveness. The research employs econometric methods to analyze data collected from broiler farms across different regions of Peninsular Malaysia. By examining the relationship between technology adoption, production scale, and returns, the study aims to provide insights into the factors influencing broiler production efficiency and profitability in the Malaysian context. The findings offer valuable implications for policymakers, farmers, and stakeholders seeking to enhance the productivity and competitiveness of the broiler industry in Peninsular Malaysia.
