This ongoing research paper will propose a roadmap to lifting the income and grow Kedah’s economy through the modernisation of its existing agricultural sector. The move from low value-added paddy rice to high value cash crops will be an important first step to improving incomes on the ground. Food processing also presents a potential avenue for higher value-added economic activities in Kedah. The case for modernisation will be made through analysing the past instances of transition in Thailand and various other countries.
