With the introduction of various modern agricultural methods there has been a huge increase in the rice production of Brunei.

Vegetable farming is also an important part of Brunei agriculture and is becoming more popular with the people. Cattle farming and animal husbandry also accounts for a considerable share in Brunei agricultural scenario. Apart from these, fisheries and forestry comprise an important part of Brunei agriculture.
