Mr Farmer,

I saw in your previous posts that you are planting rubber tree as well.
I have a question; it is advisable to collect seed from existing trees, germinate and plant them in new field?

i have spare land and planning to plant rubber trees biggrin.gif

Mr Farmer, the land for me only suitable for rubber as the access itself is 'kayu balak' access... thinking of palm oil but it's just not feasible to me...
i've asked around and LIGS is selling seedling at RM4.50/pc... will have a look on it later..

Mr xeroxphan, just for reference; i've actually developed a small palm oil farm (+-8acres) with financing from Agrobank. But, the land is not mine.. some proper documents (agreements, MPOB licence etc) are required. But do protect your interest and if possible you do sub-lease of the land.

Mr chris, thanks. great info.. thumbup.gif

p/s: Mr Para, bulletin not out yet? biggrin.gif

Mr Ah suknat.

It all depends on your operating cost whenever you want to try a system.

I'm doing other biz other than agri just to cover my other expenses. And i'm doing the exact system on your last part's comment. I only experience that you may sell cheap at big quantities with low quality and cost can be covered.

Other than that, opening small branches do help. I go for fixed price and they marked up price. Just sharing though & sorry for off topic. Lol

Ps: just do it biggrin.gif

Mr Suknat,
What is the update? Now I'm also looking for financing to replant ginger.
Agrobank is one of the option in view...

Hello funnyface,

I'll take things one step at the time.. target your crop, plant them, sell them and get the feel of the market..

when you think you can do it, plant larger... planting is not a problem but selling can be a big problem..

btw, can anyone help me..? how long can i pick up my banana fruit if they were exposed to mancozeb application.. Mr Para?

Mr Farmer, ginger price is good around here... replanting 2nd season happy.gif

Guys, when selling your products, hoe do you approach them?

"Hi boss, want to buy my product ah?"
*
1. be a customer (ie.: go eat first)
2. be a nice customer & dig info,
3. propose your products..
biggrin.gif

you can always do it the blunt way... "want to buy my product?" biggrin.gif
