An Analysis of Rice Supply in Malaysia Post Covid-19 - From an Agriculture-Related Fiqh Perspective

Vol. No. Pg. Abstract The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industries Malaysia (MAFI) has launched the National Agrofood Policy (NAP) which is a government transformation initiative that aims to increase productivity and quality of the national food supply with the role of ensuring adequate and safe food supply. However, there are some drawbacks in realising the aim to achieve at least a 74.1% level of self-sustenance in the national food supply by only contributing 2.3% to the Gross National Product (GNP). The importance of this study is to show the increase in paddy and rice agricultural products will drive the country's economy to continue to grow rapidly where the effect can be seen when the transition from heavy industry to agro -based industry that saves national expenditure and at the same time gives good returns to low-income groups. This study intended to analyse the need for a national rice supply plan from an Islamic perspective. The research methodology adopted is the content analysis research design and data were collected and analysed using a combination of descriptive and qualitative approaches. Textual analysis included an analysis of various documents, such as official reports, yearly reports, administrative circulars, departmental reports, financial plans, agency reports, and transcripts. Findings show that agriculture-related fiqh in Islam is intended to increase the quantity and quality of the national rice supply, increase national income, as well as emphasise on Halalan Tayyiba and clean food products holistically and sufficiently. This study suggests that rice production should be increased and prioritised in Malaysia compared to other commodities. The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industries should pay serious attention and play its role in expanding the ag riculture sector in accordance with Shari’a.
