"In the past decade, a small but growing body of research has drawn attention to the environmental concerns of rising greenhouse gas emissions associated with the consumption and production of food; this is an issue of increasing importance in Southeast Asia where rapid population growth is leading to year-on-year increases in food demand. To date, countries in Southeast Asia have shown little interest in addressing greenhouse gas emissions across the whole life cycle of food—production, processing, transportation, retailing, consumption, and final disposal—despite a growing awareness of climate change andits effects. This paper serves as a starting point to explore the relatively under-researched topic of greenhouse gas emission trends and the production and consumption of food in Southeast Asia, with particular focus on the Malaysian food sector. Previous research documenting greenhouse gas emissions from specific food products and components in the food supply chain has been used to determine the likely greenhouse gas ‘hotspots’ in Malaysia. The paper concludes by recommending the development of an overarching framework for Sustainable Food Systems in Malaysia and identifies specific areas of research to support this framework."

"Indonesia and Malaysia are among the top most influential countries globally for halal food and beverages (HF&B). As a result, there is a perception that these nations’ HF&B companies are mature enough to have robust operational and managerial systems. This leads to a question on how HF&B companies handle unprecedented events. This paper examines the efficiency of HF&B companies, proxied by technical efficiency (TE) score in Indonesia and Malaysia over a five year period – covering the pre-COVID-19 period (2018-2019) and during the pandemic (2020-2022) –using Stochastic Frontier Analysis. The findings indicate that Indonesia's HF&B perform better over the period by showing 60% TE, whereas Malaysia's was at 50%. Interestingly, Malaysia's TE slightly increased during the COVID outbreak, whereas Indonesia showed a reverse pattern, with decreasing TE during the first year of the pandemic. Furthermore, both countries’ HF&B require further improvement, as because between 40% and 50% of the production input is inefficient, which means the production outputs are not optimal for profit. The significant factors requiring improvement from industry players are managing the cash and inventory cycle, along with adding or upgrading any necessary fixed assets such as equipment to reach productivity at an optimum level. This findings also indicate the benchmark for the HF&B industry as well as the current stage for competitiveness among the countries."
