The Integrated Agricultural Development Area of Penang (IADA) is a government agency under the Ministry of Agriculture Malaysia and the Agro-based Industry of Malaysia. The main focus of IADA is on the development of the paddy crop sector and concentrates only on the rice paddy area in Penang to increase average paddy production from 5.6 m./t/ha to 6.5 m / t / ha. by 2015 (RM10). The whole infra has been implemented and this has greatly helped ease the work of the farmers in terms of modern machinery in the field. From using the machine to cut the stumps to the paddy to the mill. In Penang, there are four schemes directly developed as Paddy Plants namely the Sg.Muda Scheme (SPU), Sg.Kulim Scheme (SPT), Sg.Acheh Scheme (SPS) and the Bird Sg. Scheme in the Southwest.
