Yes, commercially they name Tekam yellow as Honey Jackfruit, I guess due to the sweetness. Guess maybe all the newer clone is stuck with it.

The Red type since is not registered yet.....

Say anybody planting Petai? Saw some seedling at the nursery. Can bear fruits ~ 2.5 years. Prune to lower height easier to harvest.

Since I'm crazy about Jackfruit at the moment, found this video to share

I also found this forum in Bahasa Malayu, Bicara Jutawan .com a thread specifically for Nangka.

Mr Farmer,

Can spare some jackfruit seeds? looks interesting

Too troublesome to bring. Sorry. Also germination rate reduce greatly during storage, and it dries off very quickly.
Just go to wet market / fruit stall, buy those freshly cut Jackfruit. Eat the flesh & plants the seeds.

Or just get it from your local nursery, grafted ones.


Say anyone bagging their soursop? I tried it just for fun. Maybe better? Not intending to sell the fruit, just to obtain seeds. I guess maybe I can use lesser pesticide.

bro, for your soursop if you have the sweet variety do spare me some seeds.

i had joined the bicarajutawan forum also.

Guys, the new budget for 2014 has been announced

Almost 8.4 billion are allocated to the agriculture industries.
That's a lot of money!

So what you guys think? Think my duck farm can benefit from it?

Hi, my name is twan das, i'm new here, my hometown is ipoh perak, now i've migrated to Singapore.

I would like to do farming and collaborate with all of you.If yku guys are around southern part of malaysia, i'd loved to visit your farm.

hi twan das, welcome to the club.

most of us are in the central region while MrFarmer is in Sabah.

There is a farmer KgTeratai is in Johor. You can try to PM him

Thank you for the support.I quit new, i'm really sure how to check on the contacts and so on. Can anybody guide me. My contact is 96467344, FYI.
I'm a Singapore PR, my dream is to be a farmer.So I'm looking for an opportunity to away from the rat race.

Sorry typo error, its "not so sure" actually to contact and so on.

Hi Paraoptical,
Where you are from?

Hi Twan, I also Ipoh mali, haha. Born in Ipoh. Graduated from SMJK Anderson. You?

Eh bro you quote me but not saying a thing lol.

sorry bro msg got deleted accidentally by me...haha

what i wanted to say was though there are allocations of up to RM 8B but hardly it will trickle down to farmers. the bulk of it goes to infra works

and there are many overlapping things that the PM announced. IE... Establish the Food and Agro Council for Export (FACE), FAMA is currently performing this role if not mistaken. why not just strengthen it. instead of creating another council with more civil servants

before we are all agreeable on the export market though lucrative, has local demand been sufficiently met ?? if not why head overseas when your local market craves for demand.

We should have a policy where for every 30% of export you sent out 70% must be locally marketed until local demand are met and then we can think of export. keep exporting out at the expenses of the Rakyat.

if there is oversupply in the market of course then you export.

For fun, check this out.
