      abstract = {Total Factor Productivity (TFP) may indicate the long-term  economic growth of a country. In addition, it is also a  comprehensive measure of the level of productivity in the  economy. Therefore, these study attempts to investigate the  TFP for Malaysia paddy sub-sector. The study was conducted  in four Muda Agricultural Development Authorities (MADA)  regions and employed a seasonal the series of data from  1996 to 2011. Result has found that the actual TFP growth  is below than 5 percent for each season. The study also  found that the actual TFP trend has been volatile over  time. Study has further investigated the factors affecting  TFP growth in the Malaysian paddy industry for the entire  period. Seven selected factors are found to be associated  with striking TFP growth. The result has discovered that  all the selected factors are important in influencing the  paddy production in Malaysia. However, the magnitude is  different for each region.},
