Abstract

This paper is concerned with farm decision-making under risk. It deals with the behaviour of agricultural producers with respect to the production and marketing of their produce, in particular the temperate vegetable and flower growers of Cameron Highlands, Malaysia. This study would firstly, after a brief overview of the study area, examine and compare the sequential farm decisions of producers in respect of what, when, how much and selling options available to the growers. The risk management strategies would be examined in three phases, ie., pre-planting, post-planting and post-harvest. A second part of this paper would examine the effects of development on agricultural production and producer perceptions of such development on their livelihood Finally, we would explore the implications of the introduction of sustainable farming practices to some of the farmers on decision making in terms of the impact of such practices on productivity, profitability and risk.
