Hello fellow Agriculture & Aquaculture enthusiast ...

Hey guys,

I have question about jobs available in agriculture. I recently graduated with an Agronomy degree from USA. What are the prospects in the field? I tried KLK, Sime Darby, but there are no openings in their plantation department. Any idea which companies I could try applying to?

Anyone interested to attend ??? i am thinking of going there for a visit.

Hi Bro,

welcome abroad.

What does your agronomy degree specialises in ?? it depends. my view on fruit tree farming are great. the potential is unlimited (i sound like MLM) but its the truth.

You can head towards some big fruit producing companies or some fertiliser companies to get your basic knowledge...

Paraoptical

What do you think about the prospect of prawn farming? Previously I have access to prawn farming research via academic studies but that was in overseas and not in Malaysia. However, given the mundane task of working in office culture, I want to give it a try. Do you happen to know anyone involving in prawn farming? Your great advice is appreciated.

I am also interested, unfortunately am flying back to Sabah on the 29th. Unless I buy another flight ....still contemplating.....

Hi Bro

the prospect is good for prawn farming as most of our prawns are exported to EU & USA. But please head over to Jab Perikanan for Business Advice and proposal. they are best to help you.

but also beware that currently USA might impose "Anti-Dumping Duty" due to some unscrupulous
companies getting cheap quality prawns and resell as Malaysian prawns.

this industry has good potential.

i would like to apologise because i am not able to give your more in depth advice because i am currently in Fruit Farming, and that's my forte

Hope this helps

Thank you for your advice.

welcome bro...

how is everyone's farm doing ???

its the raining season....

Anyone here has an aquaculture farm which is larger than 100 acres?

What you are referring to sounds like a permaculture practice, that is, using nature to work for itself. I am planning a similar venture where I grow my own food supply and sell the surplus to the local community. No middle man. Thus far, the idea of permaculture has been about cultivating abundance though the 'commercial' aspects have not been laid out in solid terms but it is possible. It would be a market of its own, not centralized like those mega supermarkets. Commercial systems have no regards for seasons. If they want tomatoes to be supplied, they would want it all year round. That is not sustainable nor is it natural.

It may not be appealing to those who'd like to earn mega big bucks from agriculture but it's rewarding and definitely leaves a positive impact on health and environment.

If you are interested in a permaculture course, there will be one held locally. I highly recommend as it will adjust your mindset about what should be prioritized. It's an intense 2 weeks course. I did mine last year and have no regrets. Hope this helps.

Well, the forecast says it'll rain, but unfortunately it didn't reach our farm. Had not rained for a week, but before that was raining almost every night. So much so that it's affecting some of my papayas on the lower field. Production had dropped as flowers dropped a lot due to the heat and rain. Had also culled off the round varieties.

Weather is extremely hot, the field dries up and harden with 3 days no rain.

Working on the remaining area to be planted with papaya. Preparing seedlings, which should germinate when I go back to the farm end of the month.
On a side line, transplanting so Gaharu, grafting some Jackfruits, propagating lime, germinating some soursop, avocados & durians (Musang King
Life as a farmer is hard, but is great!

Yes, I do agree that Permaculture is beneficial to the environment. It's like working in harmony with nature. Flowing with the tide of nature. I am sure the newer generation of of farmer is working towards this direction, in our own little ways.

You may want to check out DQ Farm. They are on a commercial scale.

As for me, I've just started on farming, first 3 years was a tourist farmer and only last year was on an crash intensive learning. Am still trying to get my basic right. Once I learned up, shall definitely look into agriculture in an organic and permaculture way.

Jackfruit

Hi Guys, would like to start a discussion on methods / ways of marketing Jackfruit, fresh / processed, flesh & seeds.

So far, I seen fresh, cut up and selling by weight. Packed and sold in fruit stall and supermarkets.

Processed as chips

Process as Jams, cakes, ice creams.

What other ways?

Thanks. Yes, I've contacted DQ farm before asking if they'd let me do 'attachment' so I can learn. Unfortunately, the farm is not open for public visit, much less an internship. However, they are sharing their practices on their FB page so that's a consolation.
