Gender equality in the agricultural sector in Pagar Alam is relatively good. Most agricultural-related decisions in households are made by both men and women farmers. However, women’s opinions/suggestions in these joint decision-making processes are less than men’s because women are disinclined to express them. To achieve gender equality, it is necessary to prioritise the development of women’s capacity and confidence in expressing their opinions, particularly in the agricultural sector. It is expected that family decisions will better reflect women’s voices and interests.
