Many attempts/efforts have been made to cope with the fluctuated production performance in rice production in Malaysia. There is a crucial need in technological advancement to tackle the issue of environmental variability, decreasing productivity and the rising cost in rice cultivation. The use of variable rate technology has increased rice yield through efficient resource allocation. Notwithstanding, an evaluation of the feasibility of this technology is required in terms of economic and intangible benefits. Therefore, this study attempted to determine the potential benefits that could come out of the use of precision agriculture technologies in rice cultivation. A precision farming technology package was developed by the Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute. It consists of two components, namely a variable rate seed application system and a variable rate fertilizer application system. The study estimated the monetary benefits gained from the use of these two technology components at Federal Land Consolidation and Rehabilitation Authority Seberang Perak. The study also compared the performance of the technology package against the conventional practice. The Cost–Benefit Analysis exercise has been implemented to show the benefits and implications comprised in the study. It was found that there is an additional net income per hectare in between Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) 1109 to MYR 1333 due to the reduction in the production cost if the precision farming technology packages were adopted. The advancement in two cultivation stages showed a positive impact monetarily for both small-scale and large-scale farmers in the study. However, many challenges are to be faced for the technologies implementation since the existing rice cultivation recommended practices throughout all stages even yet to be practiced and taken seriously.

已作出许多尝试/努力来应对马来西亚稻米生产波动的生产表现。迫切需要技术进步来解决环境变化、生产力下降和水稻种植成本上升的问题。可变比率技术的使用通过有效的资源配置提高了水稻产量。尽管如此，仍需要从经济和无形收益方面评估该技术的可行性。因此，本研究试图确定在水稻种植中使用精准农业技术可能带来的潜在好处。马来西亚农业研究与发展研究所开发了一套精准农业技术包。它由两部分组成，即可变速率种子施用系统和可变速率施肥系统。该研究估计了在霹雳州联邦土地整理和康复局使用这两种技术组件所获得的金钱收益。该研究还将技术包的性能与传统做法进行了比较。已实施成本效益分析练习，以显示研究中包含的效益和影响。结果发现，如果采用精准农业技术包，生产成本会降低，因此每公顷的额外净收入介于马来西亚林吉特 (MYR) 1109 至 1333 马来西亚林吉特之间。在研究中，两个种植阶段的进步对小规模和大规模农民都产生了积极的影响。然而，
