RISDA’S Strategic Planning (2001-2010)
2003 is the third year of implementation of the 8th. Malaysia Plan whereby RISDA maintains its efforts in developing the smallholder community in Peninsular Malaysia. As a producer of raw materials, particularly rubber and palm oil, the income of the smallholders is subject to the prices of both commodities. Besides, the acreage of the land owned or worked on will also affect their income and prosperity.
Bearing this in mind, RISDA has legislated the 2001 – 2005 Strategic Planning for the Development of Smallholders which takes into account the current situation of the smallholders, their income increase goal, their socio-economic status as well as the aspirations of the nation in turning rubber into a strategic crop.
The executed Strategic Business Model includes 5 Flagships or THRUSTS, namely (Replanting & Farming Development, Supplementary Economic Development, Commercial Economic Development, Smallholders’ Institutional Development and Members of the Household Development.) This development model comprises various aspects of smallholder development, which is the development of their land, economy, institution and families.
This document is meant to provide a source of reference for RISDA officers and all levels of staff, as well as for other parties interested in the development efforts and prosperity of the smallholder community. The management of RISDA values highly every feedback regarding the execution of these development programmes meant to protect the smallholders’ interests and prosperity of this country.

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES AND ACTIVITIES
Replanting is the main activity in the development of the smallholder sector, as well as the trust of other developmental activities. Replanting was first introduced in 1952 to enable smallholders with old and uneconomic rubber trees to replant with new clones or with other crops that could give higher yields and returns.The replanting grants are given partly in the form of agricultural inputs such as planting materials, fertilizers and pesticides and the balance in cash. The grant disbursement over a period of 2 ½ to 4 ½ years depending on the type of crops replanted. The smallholders can choose to replant their rubber trees with crops that could give better returns by block replanting or by individual replanting.
EXTENSION SERVICES AND THE TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY
Effective communication process needs to be implemented for the transmission of knowledge, bringing about attitudinal changes as well as increasing the skill level of the smallholders through the transfer and adoption of new technologies. Various extension methodologies, formal or informal, are used to educate and encourage the target groups to participate in the development programmes organized by RISDA.
Extension is the educational process to facilitate the implementation and adoption of new technologies recommend. The effectiveness of this process could be measured by the number and type of technologies adopted by the smallholders.
New technologies will be screened by both the National and State Extension and Transfer of Technology Committees before being introduced to the target group.
NURSERIES AND PLANTING MATERIALS
The preparation and supply of high quality planting materials to participants of the replanting programme is carried out by the 1956/1959 Scheme. In this way, RISDA can regulate the usage of the best clones besides supervising delivery schedule and quality of the planning materials supplied.
Research agencies will develop new clones from time to time for the smallholders. Apart from rubber, palm oil seedlings and timber species are also being produced at the central nurseries.
The planting materials for the replanting programme as being produced at 11 central nurseries owned by RISDA and at smaller nurseries managed by the smallholder cooperatives. The preparation and supply of these planting materials is under the responsibility of RISDA’s subsidiary, RISDA “Semaian dan Landskap Sdn. Bhd. (RSSB)”.
The replanting scheme for the estate sector is based on section 10 of the Rubber Industry (Replanting) Fund Ordinance 1952 after the amendment of the RISDA Act No. 8 of 1972. The Rubber Industry Scheme (Replanting) For the Estate 1974, states that cess money collected has to be refunded to the respective estates (more than 40.5 hectares) quarterly based on their production.
SMALLHOLDERS CO – OPERATIVE DEVELOPMENT
The co–operative society is one of the vehicle for smallholders developments, through the combined and pooled effort of available resources (labor, capital and skills) for involvement and participation in various social, economic and commercial activities. To date, there are 64 cooperatives formed at the national, state, and district levels throughout Peninsular Malaysia.

About Risda
BACKGROUND RISDA
Establishment Profile
RISDA is one of the Federal Statutory Bodies under the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development and was established on 1 January 1973 under Rubber Industry Smallholders Development Authority Act (Act 1972). It was established by the authorities endorsed by Parliament:-
- RISDA Rubber Industry Smallholders’ Development Authority Act
(Act 85, 1972) - Rubber Industry (Replanting) Fund Ordinance 1952.
With the establishment of RISDA, it is clear that “the Government takes a serious view of the role of the Smallholders Sector as one of the most important yield-production sectors of the national economy."
HISTORY OF RISDA
With the establishment of RISDA, an organization which specifically guides the smallholder sector towards progress and social and economic development has been created. RISDA will also determine that the nation's natural rubber industry becomes stronger and more stable. RISDA is established as the Government sees the importance of a new policy and strategy for the development of the smallholder sector.
As mentioned earlier, RISDA is responsible for all aspects of smallholder development. This includes modernizing the smallholder with complete application of research findings and technical advancement in rubber cultivation and processing, and thus, cooperating with MARDEC in creating an efficient marketing system for the smallholder. But most importantly is the development of new attitudes and concepts of modernization for the smallholder which is relevant to the situation today.
Therefore, it is clear that the elements of modernization must be the fundamental basis of RISDA's concept in enabling all our smallholders to utilize modern practices to increase the rubber production quality as well as to earn higher returns.
RISDA also was approach in addressing the problems faced by the smallholders. In the past, smallholders' problems were addressed by several organizations, that is, the Rubber Industry Board (Replanting), the Rubber Research Institute, as well as MARDEC. Now all this will be managed by RISDA. Therefore, simultaneous execution of research findings by the Rubber Research Institute of Malaysia, and the marketing system by MARDEC, can now be implemented for the benefit of all the smallholders nationwide. With the Integrated Approach, RISDA will ensure that the smallholder sector that is modernized in all aspects will enjoy an improved economy and a better quality of life.
The question of improving the smallholders' economy is closely related to the execution of the New Economic Policy. Therefore, RISDA will give its full cooperation to all the related government agencies. Undoubtedly, RISDA will play a very important role in the execution of the New Economic Policy, particularly in the restructuring of society.
