Additionally, the functions and features of the system were determined through several questionnaires which were distributed to 209 smallholder farmers located in Taman Kekal Pengeluaran Makanan (TKPM) in Selangor. The web application requirement determined through extraction process using physical data-driven design system from Malaysia Good Agriculture Practise (MyGAP) physical forms. This paper introduces the process of developing web application of farm management information system (FMIS) for smallholder farmers in Malaysia by using rapid application development (RAD) prototyping methodology in information system research design. The study recommended that FMIS training should be organized for Fish or Farm Managers in groups at both the Local, State and Federal levels in order to improve their efficiencies. The study concluded that with the application of FMIS in Fish farming, the processing of farm information activities can be automated to a large extent, thereby reducing processing time and increasing farm work accuracy. The FMIS software designed uses C#, Visual Studio and SQL Server, will assist the users or Fish or Farm managers in solving their day to day problems such as accurate stocking record, sales/harvesting record, payment record among others. Manual approach is limited in the affairs of better farm fish management, one method by which this can be improved is by support system which this work focuses to address. This paper discovered that lack of interoperability, insufficient stakeholder’s collaboration and a not clearly defined business model has hampered the proper functioning and adaptation of useful Information Communication Technologies (ICT’s) such as the FMIS. FMIS could be used by different stakeholders such as farmers, government organizations, service providers, and machinery or equipment or tools manufacturers to transfer information among each other. The study presents the template that could be used for fish farmers in order to ease their tasks. FMIS is a software designed for high productivity in farming business (fish farming as a case study) and to assist agricultural farmers to perform various tasks with ease such as operational planning, implementation, documentation, and application for financial subsidies or grants. The focus of this study is to present Farm Management Information System (FMIS) and its application in Agribusiness. The new system was designed and implemented to replace the old/existing system which is manual system Finally, the researcher summarized the findings from the data gotten and resolved into making some reasonable recommendations before concluding the work at last. In chapter 3 and 4 the researcher described and analysed the existing system in order to tackle the problem in the existing system. Oral interview were used to collect the data needed for this research work, and the researcher also added some of observation made during the collection of data. The attempts of other researchers, authors were viewed to know their opinion pertaining to this topic. To do this the researcher underwent a thorough interview where she was able to discover some problems associated with the existing system of management information system which is manual system.These problems have been hindering the growth of the management till date and that is what called for this research work. A piggery farm is kind of farm management where pigs are been reared and cared for, for the purpose of production. In this study the researcher aimed at computerizing piggery farm management information system.
