“…This finding is consistent with the Tran et al (2022) reported that inadequate enforcement has pushed food makers to neglect the adoption of food safety certification. According to Razzif and Norzaidi (2020), inconsistent enforcement encourages food producers to assume that food safety certification is less important. Furthermore, according to study from Ramakrishnan et al (2021), strict and consistent certification enforcement may motivate food makers to acquire food safety certification.…”

Purpose This study aims to identify the factors to food safety certification adoption among farmers in Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach This study was conducted qualitatively using a method of interviewing with unstructured questions. To identify the factors that influence and prevent the adoption of food safety certification among Malaysian farmers, nine (n = 9) agricultural industrial experts were randomly chosen. Findings Based on data analysis using thematic analysis, the respondent highlighted 14 factors to food safety certification. Specifically, the most frequent determinant highlighted by the respondent is enforcement (12). Additionally, it has been proven that the identified factors aligned with existing theories: technology, organization and environment (TOE) framework and eco-innovation theory. These theories help researchers to create effective strategies and produce significant findings from their research. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to investigate food safety certification adoption among farmers in the Malaysian agriculture industry using the integration of the TOE framework and eco-innovation theory. The stakeholder is expected to receive the benefits of creating efficient campaigns to encourage more farmers to obtain food safety certification. This study provides further knowledge by improving the understanding of the processes involved in certification adoption, providing context-specific insights, best practices, policy guiding development and emphasizing the effects of certification on sustainability and competitiveness.

“…The benefits will also drive the SMEs in food industry to apply for product and system certifications (Guo et al, 2019). According to Razzif and Norzaidi (2020a), despite the benefits gained, there are several challenges for the SMEs in food industry in Malaysia to implement and obtain the certifications such as high costs, language barrier, and lack of motivation and knowledge in applying for the HACCP certification. Razzif and Norzaidi (2020b) reported that the HACCP-certified companies in Malaysia had increased by 29% from 2016 to 2017, while in 2018, the number of HACCP-certified companies had increased by 11%.…”

The purpose of the present review paper is to provide a preliminary review related to current research on the implementation of food safety regulations, and the impact on three dimensions of food security level namely food resources, food production, and logistics. All 16 research papers published in 2016 - 2023 on implementation of food regulations among food industries in Malaysia were collected from Google Scholar and discussed herein. The main factors that contribute to low number of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with food safety assurance certification are due to high certification and business renovation costs, language barrier between industries and authorities, as well as lack of motivation and knowledge among SMEs. In addition, the negligence of food manufacturers in following regulations leaves negative impact on Malaysia’s food security level. The present review suggests future research on food fraud, food defence, and stability of food resources to secure higher level of food safety and security.
