Prof. Dr. Siti Khairunniza Bejo Mr. Yahya Sahari Head of Department Senior Research Officer Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Faculty of Engineering Institute (MARDI) Universiti Putra Malaysia [email protected] [email protected] https://www.mardi.gov.my/ http://www.eng.upm.edu.my/ https://www.facebook.com/mardimalaysia/ https://www.facebook.com/kbpupm/

INTRODUCTION Malaysia is the world's second  Humid tropical climate with heavy rainfall (2540 mm largest producer of palm oil. p.a. and above), average daily temperatures of 21- 32oC and humidity averaging about 85%.  Rainfall is affected by the North - East (November - March) and South - West (June-August) monsoons which bring heavy rainfall. For the months April-May Malaysia and September-October, less rain is experienced because of changes in monsoonal winds.  Nearly 24% of Malaysia's land area is for agriculture.  Two farming sectors: Smallholders (farm sizes of about 0.3-1.5 ha) and large holdings (commercial plantations where production is well organised for both local and overseas markets).
