THE PADDY AND RICE INDUSTRY IN MALAYSIA REPORT 2024 Malysian Competition Commission The Malaysia Competition Commission (MyCC) is an independent statutory body and is Malaysia’s national competition authority (NCA). The MyCC derives its powers, functions, and responsibilities from the Competition Commission Act 2010 [Act 713] to enforce the Competition Act 2010 [Act 712]. Consistent with the functions provided under section 16 of Act 713, the MyCC is mandated to study the paddy and rice industry in Malaysia and assess if there are any competition issues inherent in the industry for possible investigation and enforcement actions. This Industry Study examines and analyzes the paddy and rice industry in Malaysia by looking at the paddy and rice industry value chain to understand the market structure and identify key players in the markets; government measures, including policies, laws, and regulations applicable to the industry; lessons from other countries in how they develop their paddy and rice industries; and potential competition issues inherent and/or arising from the market structure, conduct, and performance of players in the industry. Rice is a staple food in Malaysia, vital for food security and rural livelihoods. In 2023, Malaysians consumed an average of 76.7 kg of rice per person. The country’s 230,119 paddy farmers produced 1.44mn mt of rice from 614,061 ha of land, requiring an additional 1.28mn mt in imports. Malaysia’s rice self-sufficiency level declined from 70% in 2017 to 56.2% in 2023. The paddy and rice industry in Malaysia is shaped by government policies aimed at food security, sustainable production, and farmer welfare. The National Agrofood Policy 2021–2030 (NAP2.0) and National Food Security Policy (DSMN Action Plan) 2021–2025 guide the agricultural sector’s development through initiatives focused on productivity, farmer support, innovation, and environmental sustainability

Competition Law and Economic regulation: Addressing Market Power in Southern Africa Klaaren, Jonathan; Roberts, Simon; Valodia, Imraan The period since the early 1990s has seen the emergence and consolidation of competition and regulation authorities in a number of countries across the continent. This volume aims to play a role in critically analysing key competition issues and in considering the interface of competition and a range of economic policy questions. The papers we collected and edited for presentation in this volume fit into three clusters: cartel law enforcement, issues in competition and regulation, and competition and regulation in reshaping African markets. The conclusion, a substantive chapter in its own right, addresses competition and regional integration as part of an inclusive growth agenda for Africa. The areas covered here show that there are complex and interesting developments in the competition and regulation space within the region. There is thus a clear need for an overall assessment and for measures to foster the development of a body of knowledge and literature that originates from the experiences of countries in the region, rather than relying exclusively on international precedent and learnings. One example of this is Thula Kaira’s discussion in chapter 3 of the poor translation of cartel findings in South Africa into follow-on investigations and prosecution in neighbouring countries in the Southern African Customs Union and the Southern African Development Community (SADC), and ultimately into damage claims based on an assessment of the overcharge to consumers across borders

Handbook of Case Law: The Competition's Tribunal Guide to Select Cases Decided from 1999 - 2001 Carrim, Yasmin; Mathonsi, Camilla This version contains some exciting new topics as well as updates of existing topics. New topics include cases dealing with the Covid -19 pandemic complaints decided by the Tribunal in accordance with the mandate given to it by the newly amended section 8(1)(a) and 8(3) and/or the Consumer Protection Regulations promulgated under the State of National Disaster, 2 the question of the Tribunal’s jurisdiction over foreign entities, the powers of the Tribunal to vary consent orders, the exercise of the Tribunal’s inquisitorial powers, access to confidential information and the approach of the Tribunal to the question of indivisible transactions. Some topics such as the new Public Interest are actually old topics that have been separated out of the merger evaluation section due to the growth in the number of cases and the expanded public interest grounds introduced by the 2019 amendments. The updated and new topics in this version of the handbook are all simply marked by an asterisk (*) in the heading which denotes that either it has been updated with new case law or that it is a new topic. This version includes the latest decided and published (non-confidential) cases of the Competition Tribunal and Competition Appeal Court up to and including 31 March 2021.

ICPEN Handbook: Unfair Trading Practices in Digital Platforms in the Tourism Sector ICPEN This handbook is the first major output under the Working Group. The Working Group will continue under the 2020/2021 Canadian Presidency, and we hope to be able to progress further our ambitions to reduce consumer harm from digital tourism platforms. It is undoubtedly the case that the 2020 Covid-19 global pandemic has had a major impact on the tourism industry. Global travel and tourism came to a virtual standstill in the first part of the year leading to significant consumer harm. In econsumer.gov, Covid-19 travel related complaints ranked as the second highest type of report. UNCTAD estimates that the sector could lose 1.2 trillion USD as a result of the crisis.4 The world is slowly re-opening and the tourism industry is beginning to rebuild itself. It is important that consumer trust is restored. But some businesses may turn (or return) to deceptive or misleading practices to exploit consumers. Online platforms will continue to play a significant role in travel and tourism as consumers begin to travel again. Now more than ever, it is important that consumers are protected from harmful trading practices.

Competition in Africa: Insights from Key Industries Roberts, Simon The chapters examine competition issues across countries in four very important sectors. In each of these sectors there are powerful multinational incumbent firms who, as is only to be expected, vigorously defend their conduct in light of critical scrutiny. The job of competition authorities is, however, to undertake just such scrutiny. The countries included here, Botswana, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania and Zambia, all have relatively young competition authorities tasked with this work. In this regard, it is important to emphasise that the studies which formed the basis of the chapters of this book were research exercises and not investigations. The studies were conducted by independent researchers along with staff of competition authorities and the analyses are of the teams of researchers involved. The conclusions drawn reflect the information at the time of the studies. We further wish to highlight that in some cases the companies contested the findings of the researchers. The researchers took into account the representations made where appropriate. There has also been a rigorous blind review process.
