7.5.1 General scope

Brunei has large amount of fossil fuel resources such as oil and natural gas, and obtains half of its GDP by exporting these resources to enjoy good economy. Thus, they do not have interest in biofuel development so much.

Meanwhile, the land area is small (5,770 km2), and agricultural land is very small, thus most of the food is imported. National development plan always aims at improvement of self-supply rate of food. However, since its independence in 1984, governmental sector was developed and stable high-income jobs are available, which lead to the people’s removal from agriculture. In general, agriculture is stagnant, and its productivity within total GDP is only 2.7%.
