However, small-scale farmers usually practices traditional farming in producing
pineapple because of the culture and the level knowledge they gain. Lack of
enterprising skills and competitiveness prevents them to be more successful in

and skills to improve production, income and quality of life. Therefore, this study aims
to examine the relationship between socio demographic characteristics and
respondents’ perception level of knowledge, skill and practices toward pineapple
farming. The study was conducted at Johor and Selangor with 150 farmers. Closeended
questionnaire have been used thru face to face interview. The result from this
study shows that the perception of farmers towards the effect of extension services
on knowledge and practices are high but moderate on skills. Then, perception of
farmers toward extension agent’s organization, officer and activity are high. The
result from chi-square analysis showed that race and state have a significance
difference between respondents’ knowledge towards pineapple farming. Thus,
education and state have a significances difference between respondent’s skills
towards pineapple farming. In addition, race has a significance difference between
respondent’s attitudes towards pineapple farming. . Hence, pineapple farming needs
great intension by the government trough Malaysian Pineapple Industry Board to
develop appropriate polices for this industry. Moreover, government sector should
encourage all races of farmers to participate and attract them by giving some
subsidies like as poultry and oil palm industries. | en_US |
