Excerpt from A Survey of Agriculture in Malaysia Malaysia is much too new to permit a worthwhile analysis of its overall agricultural economy. Only now is an attempt being made to improve the uniformity and comparability of statistical data and other economic information. Also, the country has not had, sufficient time to develop its economy to the extent that it gives definite indications of the form it will take. Thus, this study is largely an attempt to pull together the available pertinent information about the agricultural economies of the component units of Malaysia. However, some consideration has been given to the future agricultural economy of the new nation. With the creation of Malaysia some changes were made in the names of the component geographic areas. The area known as the Federation of Malaya (1957-1963) was designated the States of Malaya (or mainland Malaysia), while the Crown Colony of North Borneo became the State of Sabah. Singapore and Sarawak retained their historical names. The new names are utilized in this publication. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
