I) higher productivity through Improved planting materials for crops ll~e rubber• oil palm, cocoa, pepper and other crops; II) efficent production technology for agriculture throogh better utilisation of labour and other resources; Ill) post-harvest utilisation and processing of crops to prevent crop spol I age and other post-harvest losses; tv} alternative uses of primary commodities apart from the already known uses so as to cushion against fluctuating prices and competition from near substitutes such as synthetic rubber against natural rubber, other vegetable oils like soya bean oil against palm ol I etc.; v) Increasing rice yield through Introduction of high yiel­ ding pest-resistant varieties and the encouragement of amalgamation of uneconomic rice plots Into coo, erative farms whereby more economic practices and use of modern technology can be economically shared to enable effi­cient production methods on a large scale basis; vi) introduction of other food crops such as fruits and vegetables Into smal I scale farms to enable alternative sources of Income to boost the Income of farmers; vii) utilisation of agriculture byproducts for the generation of animal feedstuff and blogas energy; and viii) utilisation of remote sensing techniques on soli and ground analysts, climate and monitoring research. Industrial Research: I) on material sciences concerning properties of Iron, tin, plastics, ceramics, alloys, glass and others; 141 (I) on alternative sources of energy froa blogas, solar, nuclear etc.; Iff) emphasis on building designs especially computed aided building design to cater for energy conservation, efficient material utilization and needs to adopt advance technology for structurally sound buildings; tv) development of general mechanisms and Infrastructure necessary to upgrade the technological know-how of Indu­stry In relation to technology acquisition, adoption and adaptation of technologies from abroad and to study the average time necessary for such technologies to be abso­ rbed completely by the recipients;
