Abstract
back to the rural areas. Previous studies have stated that, livestock entrepreneurship gains benefits for rural area through economic growth by increasing job opportunities among youth as well as able to reduce unemployment problem and fulfill the people’s meat demand. Therefore, endless efforts have been done by the government to increase the number of youth engagement in livestock industry. However, involvement of youth in this field still shows less attraction compared with other sectors due to lack of knowledge and inadequate access to finance. Thus, this preliminary study is employed to examine the level of intention among FELDA youth to migrate from city for livestock entrepreneurship. A total of 30 FELDA youth working in Kuala Lumpur were selected as respondents where a developed questionnaire was distributed to gain the data. SPSS software was used for the purpose of descriptive analysis. From the findings, it is revealed that FELDA youth have a strong interest and they give positive responds to re-migrate for livestock entrepreneurship. The strongest reasons that influence their intention is not only to improve their livelihood income but also to reduce reliance on meat imports and increase meat exports. This research will help youth in making decision to migrate back for livestock entrepreneurship and to ensure farming activities become more effective and efficient, particularly to attract and encourage young people to become a successful livestock entrepreneur.
