马来西亚沙捞越大型私人油棕榈种植园目前迅速扩张的政策叙事，暗示着一种正在进行的农业转型的二元观念，就像20世纪50年代流行的那样。这种说法与沙捞越小农商业化的历史不一致。1981年后的政策寻求限制小农开发，并将大片土地提供给私人庄园，从而重新创造了一种二元农业结构。沙捞越的油棕榈扩张有多种潜在途径，并朝着目前的方向发展，这不是由二元经济推动的，而是通过行使国家权力来最大化剩余开采和政治赞助的机会。
Abstract The policy narrative underpinning the current rapid expansion of large-scale, private, oil palm plantations in Sarawak, Malaysia, implies a dualistic conception of the agrarian transformation underway, such as prevailed in the 1950s. This narrative is inconsistent with the history of smallholder commercialisation in Sarawak. Post-1981 policy has sought to limit smallholder development and deliver large land areas to private estates, thus ‘re-inventing’ a dualistic agrarian structure. Oil palm expansion in Sarawak has various potential pathways and is driven in its present direction, not by dualistic economics, but the exercise of state power to maximise opportunities for surplus extraction and political patronage.
