Despite the rigorous efforts and initiatives by the Government, Fahmi et al.(2013) mentioned that Malaysia’s rice production
is considered inefficient in terms of cost and production. It has also been noted that there are also issues and challenges
specifically on the supply of fertilizer that has an impact on the yield of paddy. Some of the challenges in fertilizer supply
revolve around the following issues (reported in Berita Transformasi Pertanian: Lahir Peladang Progresif, 2012): Ensuring that
fertilizer is supplied only to eligible farmers, more frequent visits to meet the farmers for monitoring, timely distribution of
fertilizer to farmers. Malaysian government spent about 30 million USD annually on chemical fertilizer. As illustrated in Figure
1, National Farmer Association (NAFAS) has been the sole distributor of the subsidized fertilizer to the paddy farmers
nationwide (Ammar et al, 2012)
