THE NECESSARIES OF AGRICULTURE INDUSTRIES TO THE WORLD
What is Agriculture? Agriculture is farming and the methods that are used to raise and
look after crops and animals (English dictionary 2009). In the field of agriculture, it requires
sophisticated technology that can help reduce poverty, increase economic growth and provide
employment opportunities. Therefore, there are many benefits of agriculture industries such as
technology, economy and social interaction.
Firstly, technology can help us in improving the quality of agriculture. The first
technology, Statement on Gene technology and genetically modified (GM) plants. Gene
technology can play an important role to detect malnutrition, improve and preserve the
continuity of results around the world. Gene technology is an integral requirement in the field of
biotechnology and the most important tools used in modern plant biology. In addition, this
technology allows us to take data in nutrition. Genetically modified (GM) cotton adoption rates
will allow pesticide reduction, and use herbicide-tolerant cotton allows the use of more
environmentally friendly in terms of weeds management than conventional cotton production
system (Australian Academy 2006). The second technology, focusing on ways satellite remote
sensing can provide precise agricultural data. This technology acts as remote sensing using
sensors to capture high-flying and send data about the earth. In agriculture, the data can be
used to create field maps showing water, fertilizer and other input needs for specific areas within

a field. According to Thomasson, “some areas are not uniform in the presence of water”.
Therefore, this technology to introduce to farmers so that data can be obtained with a distance
(Thomasson.A 1998). The third technology, development in engineering the sector, research
has focused on the development machine that is able to make agriculture a difficult work to do.
In fact, the government can influence future research and development (R&D) through the study
of supply and demand factors. Overall, all technologies can bring many benefits to human
health and agriculture.
Secondly, agriculture can give us benefit in social interaction and humaniterism. It is
because many countries are faced with severe and nutrition problems of poverty and lack for
food imports. A slow increase of food production is the result of increased area of cultivation and
increase the harvest per unit area (Anderson.P 1982). Then, in social welfare, we can see
whether there are occurrence disasters of such as earthquakes, tsunamis, or hurricanes, the
world required as the main food for the victims in a large stock to help them to survive. As such,
developing countries in the world are able to overcome this problem with the agricultural
products to contribute to the countries that experienced in disaster. As a result, Malaysia is as
example in produce nature of compassion towards those in consumption.
Finally, agriculture can help to develop on the country’s economy. Purchasing power that
belongs to the family of their own income through it relationships with price, is the most
important constraint on market demand for food in developing countries (Anderson.P 1982).
Agriculture can also provide many opportunities in the business such as plantation, livestock
and farming. For example, countries like New Zealand, it produces large livestock. Thailand, it
produces rice and Indonesia, it produces oil palm. These three counties are the chief product of
the world. The scenario of the world at present, the unemployment is the heavy problem facing

by many countries. So, it is seen that agriculture is one of the perfect ways to solve the problem
of unemployment are by prepared more opportunities of job.
In short, the agricultural industry will generate many benefits for us such as agricultural
technology, economic and social interaction. As example Malaysia should take opportunity to
develop our agriculture become the chief product of the world. Malaysia also needs to introduce
new technologies to farmers so that agriculture can be increased with good results and increase
profits in the country's economic resources. Indirectly Malaysians must play an important role in
agricultural activities so that the people of Malaysia shall not postpone unemployment jobs.
Therefore, we must look for opportunities in all activities so that we do not lose the opportunity
to increase profits.
