The research design uses were quantitative study and data collection using survey method. A set of questionnaires was adapted from Malaysian Palm Oil Research and Development Board (MPOB), Universiti Putra Malaysia 1992. The sample consists of 40 independent oil palm smallholders respectively 20 Independent Malay and 20 Independent Indian smallholders. Descriptive statistic and inference was used to analyse the different practice of technology among smallholders. The result shows Independent Malay frequently guided by MPOB compare the Indian smallholders. However the technology practices by the Malay smallholders are less efficient compare the Indian smallholders. Therefore, the MPOB should monitor and make sure the Malay smallholders fully practice what was guided by them in order to increase their productivity. In future, a broad survey with bigger sample should be done to picture the present status of technology practice and contribution among various ethnic in Malaysia in economic development. |
