An ‘Agro-Vision 2023’ targets to develop
agricultural sector from primary to industrial level production |
| |
 |
|
By the year 2023,
the local production of livestock will achieve the targeted output
levels of 40 thousands metric tonnes of chicken meat, 120 thousands
metric tonnes of table eggs and 600 metric tonnes of red meats. By that
year, the value of livestock commodities is estimated at 600 million
Brunei dollars. |
|
| |
The targets are
based from a drafted grand strategic plan ''Agro-Vision 2023'' adopted
by the Agriculture Department. The strategic plan could propel the
agricultural sector from a primarily commodity based sector towards a
modern agribusiness setting with greater reliance on agro-food
processing as well as trading of agro-commodities, agricultural products
and processed agro-food. The strategies are expected to sustain a growth
rate of between 5 to 10 percent annually for the primary agricultural
production. |
|
| |
The targets for the
local crop production are 58 thousands metric tonnes of vegetables,25
thousands metric tonnes of fruits and 900 metric tonnes of rice. These
outputs from crop production are estimated to be worth 267 million
Brunei dollars. |
