DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY/PROGRAM FOR FRUIT INDUSTRY

STRATERGY/ PROGRAM

1. Improve management, productivity and quality of fruit farms produce through: – Adaptation of production technology – Strengthening of IPM, QAQC, HACCP

program and quarantine procedures – Implementation of post-harvest

program – Introduction of Farm Accreditation

Program – Soil fertility evaluation program

DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY/PROGRAM FOR FRUIT INDUSTRY

STRATERGY/ PROGRAM

…CONT

Increase area, production and agricultural product in line with market demand and selected commodity Indigenous fruit planting campaign Encourage and increase private sector investment through site offers under the supervision of Agriculture and Agrifood Department Enhancing the knowledge and skills of officers/staffs as well as entrepreneurs

WAY FORWARD OF FRUIT INDUSTRY

To provide opportunities to increase and develop the capabilities of local production for fulfilling the target for 2023 Improving fruit production to optimal level Optimize the existing area Developing downstream industry and increasing value added fruit product Adaptation of effective technology Improving farm infrastructure Using high quality planting material Recognition of farms

Less understanding to market needs

Small domestic market

High production cost

Challenges

CROP INDUSTRY

Competition with imported product

Less involvement of big players

Low productivity

Land not fully utilised

Insufficient basic infrastructure especially irrigation

Less commitment to farm management

Financial problem

Limited skilled human resources

Research and Development Program

• Evaluation and Agronomic study on fruits

• Study on Distribution,Genetic diversity and Development of Indigenous Fruit

• Collection, evaluation, selection and conservation of fruit germplasm

• Registration and cloning of high quality fruit

• Adaptation of technology in fruit crop production, ie cultivation technology .

POSSIBLE AREA OF COOPERATION

• Production technologies • Disease and Insect Pest

Management • Post Harvest and Food Processing

Technology • Capacity Building through training,

requests of experts • Propagation and breeding

technologies • Engagement of experts

Vegetable Industry

• Contribute about B$30.36 million in 2010 and B$31.29 million in 2011

• A growth about 3% which represent B$0.93 million

• 1St largest by commodity producing 71.33% production and 12.99% on National production

Current Status of Water Resource

• Public water supply relies solely on surface water resources under 4 main water supply systems

• River Catchment covers 75% (3,425 sg.km) of country’s land

• 77% is for domestic and commercial use, 18% for oil and gas industry and 5% for irrigation

• Consumption per capita is about 450 l/c/d and % NRW is 33%

WATER MANAGEMENT

• Most agriculture areas in Brunei are rain-fed.

• Irrigation system currently being developed for Brunei Muara district. Can supply 1800 Ha upon completion.

WATER MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES

• Natural water resources far from agriculture land.

• Limited options for water catchment areas for agriculture.

• High cost for irrigation development

• Land is Acid Sulphate mostly. Needs proper irrigation and drainage system in order to flush and make area suitable for crop production.

CURRENT IRRIGATION DEVELOPMENT IN BRUNEI MUARA DISTRICT

SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE

• Integrated Pest Management – CABI Collaboration.

• Soil management- acid sulphate soil in Brunei is very common. A major hindrance for rice production.
