      abstract = {In recent years, the Malaysian rice sector has experienced  structural changes to increase its competitiveness within a  dynamic environment that is influenced by political,  technical, economic and international trade challenges.  Using a Policy Analysis Matrix, this paper examines whether  Malaysia would have the comparative advantage in rice  production under different scenarios of existing policies  and economic reforms. The empirical results show that the  rice farming is marginally competitive and generates  relatively low social profits. Other empirical results show  that three out of four states have comparative advantages  in producing rice with Domestic Resource Cost values or  DRCs less than one. Conversely, the results indicate no  comparative advantage for rice production in the KETARA  granary area, as DRC is greater than one.},
