Malaysia: Budget for Malaysia 2026

Malaysia's Budget 2026 was tabled on October 10, 2025, in the Malaysian Parliament against a backdrop of moderate economic growth, stable inflation, and renewed attention on food security and supply chain resilience. For 2026, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (KPKM) received RM6.87 billion / USD1.76 billion, an increase of seven percent from the RM6.42 billion / USD1.64 billion allocated for 2025. KPKM allocated RM2.62 billion / USD671 million for agricultural subsidies and incentives in 2026, and paddy growers will receive the largest share of this amount. Together, these programs position the paddy sector as the single largest beneficiary within KPKM's budget due to its role in national food security.
