Imvo mater i u 1 i nod without the suppor I mid inspiration of so many people. It is not possible for me to list rill of them but I wish to put on record the following individuals and organisations who have contributed directly to my work. Firstly, to my former superior in the National Institute of Public Admin. M ’siu (INTAN), Dr. Abdullah bin Abdul Rahman who urged and inspired me to pursue my post-graduate studies. Secondly, my appreciation to the Government of Malaysia for sponsoring me and granting me official leave of absence for the whole duration of the study. My intellectual debt goes to my supervisor Prof. Paul Mosley who patiently guided me all the way until the completion of the thesis and Mr. Edward Iloresh who complemented Prof Mosley’s task admirably from beginning till end. Fourthly, my gratitude to all my colleagues and new found friends in the various Ministries, Departments and Statutory Bodies too numerous to mention whom 1 consulted to get information arid data. However, special mention must be made of Mr Abdul Halim bin Butok Abdul Roof formerly Deputy Director-General of RISDA and Mr Him lid Huain Director-General of Lembnga Pertubuhau Peladang who kindly facilitated my research by giving me unlimited access to their officers and facilities at Hendquaters and State level. I am also indebted to all the farmers in Krian and rubber smallholders in Perak who willingly participated as respondents. To all may I say .jutaun terTina kasih and may Allah reward them. Last, but by no means least my perennial gratitute to my wife and children for having supported and endured patiently the long period of study. i ABSTRACT Malaysia is primarily an agricultural country where the smallholder sector is predominant. An integral part of the government strategy in agriculture is the heavy subsidisation of the smallholder sector. However, recently, the Malaysian government declared that the extensive system of subsidies in agriculture would be thoroughly reviewed with the ultimate objective of cutting back on subsidies which were deemed to be wasteful and unproductive. The government has taken the official stand that farmers and smallholders should not rely excessively on subsidies and that they must be more self- reliant and do away with the so-called " subsidy mentality The thesis attempts to investigate the claim of the government whether there is such a thing as a.” subsidy mentality " among Malaysian farmers and if there is one the reasons for its existence. In order to establish this claim, it is necessary first to prove whether, or not subsidies contribute towards improving the productivity and welfare of farmers. This is done by analysing the allocative and redistributive effects of agricultural subsidies in smallholder agriculture. In addition, the thesis also attempts to go further by investigating how farmers perceive and respond to subsidies by studying their attitudes towards specific subsidies. This is done by undertaking empirical investigation of two main smallholders’ activities in Malaysia, namely smallholder rubber cultivation and rice farming through the technique of sample survey. The study found that the effect of subsidies differs between different crops, types of subsidies and between farm and regional level. Hence the effect of subsidies is not conclusive. Generally, farmers had a positive attitude towards subsidies and most of them had to rely on subsidies because they were poor.
