The determinants of non-tariff barriers in Malaysia’s agricultural sector by Hanif, Azlina, Alavi, Rokiah, Duasa, Jarita, Mat Ghani, Gairuzazmi

“…Malaysia is no exception as the applied most-favoured-nation tariff rate in her agricultural sector in 2009 is relatively low, averaging at 2.8 percent.Despite the reduction in tariff barrier, the incidence of non-tariff barriers (NTBs) in the sector over the 1978–2007 period has generally increased even though efforts at dismantlin these barriers have long been initiated. Thus, the paper seeks to identify factors that influence the level of NTBs in the agricultural sector. …”
